A healthy democracy for sure.
Only the best democracies ban journalists. Ask anybody!
Is this a set forward or backward from their previous stance of just kill them?
You know you are on the right side of history when you censor Journalism.
Don’t you see, this is just woke fake news journalism!! (meaning, journalism I disagree with)
About as good as any other definition of the word. I feel we are a term or two away from Idiocracy .
We disagree in that I feel we’ve been there for a couple or few decades.
We’ve been there at least since Reagan.
To be fair both the US and the EU did ban Russian journalists, so it seems hypocritical to judge Israel here.
I think you took the wrong lesson from that lol
I’m against censorship in any ways, just seems hypocritical to judge Israel here when everyone does it.
The US and EU have no room to judge Israel, that’s true.
I sure as fuck can judge them, though, and I do and so should you.
“They” censor “our” view: BAD! “We” censor “their” view: sure, thats fine?
You know propaganda works both ways right? It’s maybe different extends, but i still believe dude is right and censorship is not the right way to go.
Somehow ensuring factual news would be amazing, but that would need to count for fucking everyonem…oh well one can dream…
Try reading what I said again because you clearly misunderstood it.
To be fair, the US is a piece of shit country.
State sponsored and journalist that are admired by their peers is completely different.
Israel has lost all of my respect in the last year
They should never have had your respect in the first place…
When people recognize they were wrong about something, as smugly satisfying as it may be it’s not actually helpful to tell them that they should have been correct sooner.
I don’t think it’s about being smug. It’s about pointing out the important fact that none of this is new except the scale. Divide by 100-1000 and this is just daily life in Palestine.
So Israel’s been shutting down other newspapers before?
No; they just arrest activists and journalists (sometimes but not always have their lackies at the PA do it). Actually shuttering a newspaper is a first AFAIK.
Is that the line? Everything before was fine, but this is what caused them to lose your respect?
Just give it a break for fuck’s sake jesus christ
You respected Israelis a year ago? Please catch up.
edgy
And just like with Russia, my soul bleeds for the people who have nothing to do with this…
At least in Russia the elections were fake
The Kung-Fu is strong
And who would that be? The exactly 1 IDF soldier that refused to fight? Because all Israelis are IDF soldiers.
The children that are not yet IDF
There was an article posted recently about tens of thousands of Israelis marching in Tel Aviv, demanding Bibi resign and an immediate ceasefire.
For the hostages. I mean it’s not like I don’t want the hostages to return but most of them are definitely not there for the genocide. See: How 88% of Israeli Jews support the war, and 94% think Israel is using too little or just enough fire power.
I would love to see sources. I’m American so sources are limited either through our regular choices or my ignorance of outside sources, not to mention the credibility thereof. I’ll take a look at any you care to provide.
So I slightly misremembered the 88% question; it’s whether the answerer thinks the number of Gazans killed is justified by the war. General support for the war doesn’t show up, but it is high (75% backed a Rafah operation back in March).
Anyway there: https://archive.md/PWZ1h
Thank you. Sad upvote.
they want a new government. it’s not about the genocide. they generally support the genocide.
Well idk really, since the only “not USA approved” news I ever get is here, so I can’t really make an informed argument either for or against what you’re saying. I just don’t know how credible any news source may be, regardless whether slant is immediately obvious or not.
It’s NYT (yeah not the best source hence the weird slant) reporting on a poll by Tel Aviv university.
Oh gees, I remember reading this now. My fault, thank you for bringing it back to memory. That’s… not encouraging at all, is it?
Ask any Israeli you see and they’ll probably tell you…
Two years after israel closed the Aljazeera offices in Gaza
Can’t have them recording information about their genocide.
What was the prompt?
Netanyahu is Hitler
A sign of weakness for sure
Well this inspires confidence in the Netanyahu Administration.
Unfortunately it’s nothing new. They’ve already banned journalists in any place they could get anything revealing human rights abuses. If anything it’s a portent of further Likud-led fascism cracking down hard within the borders of Israel itself.
This is what fascist dictatorships do. Israel is a fascist ethnocracy.
Only wants to hear how great israel is
“But I did not do anything, because I am not a journalist, and neither are they, really, and the thing they wear on their head is really dumb, unlike the thing we wear on our heads.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An Al Jazeera correspondent on its Arabic service said the order would affect the broadcaster’s operations in Israel and in east Jerusalem, where it has been doing live shots for months since the Oct. 7 attack that sparked the war in Gaza.
The decision threatens to heighten tensions with Qatar at a time when the Doha government is playing a key role in mediation efforts to halt the war in Gaza, along with Egypt and the United States.
Relations took a major downturn nearly two years ago when Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh was killed during an Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank.
Al Jazeera is one of the few international media outlets to remain in Gaza throughout the war, broadcasting bloody scenes of airstrikes and overcrowded hospitals and accusing Israel of massacres.
While Al Jazeera’s English operation often resembles the programming found on other major broadcast networks, its Arabic arm often publishes verbatim video statements from Hamas and other militant groups in the region.
Sunday’s development immediately recalled Egypt’s shutdown of Al Jazeera after the country’s 2013 military takeover following mass protests against President Mohammed Morsi, a member of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood group.
