Don't forget Israel or Trump admin's attempts to curry favor with Israel.
 eg. series of readers' comments on a Washington Post opinion piece "Why Arab states are wrong to try to shut down Al Jazeera":
 eg. 'tobit': 
"Here's an article on al-Jazeera which is not only sympathetic to ISIS, but then goes on to compare Israel to ISIS, and ends with a threat[sic and with no sense of irony]: 
"ISIL will not perish until repressive authoritarian Arab states, some of which have colluded with ISIL in the first place, are reformed. And stability will not come to the Middle East until the Palestinian issue is resolved.""

The AJaz article referred to by tobit actually focuses on a tv series, "Black Crows" aired by Saudi owned MBC, and which  has been marketed "as the stories of women who join [ISIL]" The author actually criticizes the series for its superficial treatment of ISIL and its inability to confront their ideology. He is a Palestinian.
