      Ah yes. Worried it might’ve been something else. Even being at war, Israel does rather well when it comes to press freedom. There are a wide variety of perspectives.

          The proposal, put forward by communications minister Shlomo Kar’i, will end government advertising in the newspaper and cancel all subscriptions for state employees and employees of state-owned companies.

          Not exactly something that’ll prevent them from continuing their work, nor does it limit press freedom. On the whole that entire situation actually reinforced my confidence in Israeli media since it clearly shows that it isn’t under government control.

        They shut down Al Jazeera entirely and they murder journalists in Gaza & Lebanon systematically, they’ve killed literally hundreds since October 7 and have been doing it before. I don’t know in what world you’d consider that doing press freedom “rather well“

            So the usual, got it. Maybe they’re hamas too? Also, no word about assassinating literally hundreds of journalists? Were they also all terrorists?

              There have been Al-Jazeera journalists who are Hamas members.

              Also, no word about assassinating literally hundreds of journalists?

              Nope. It’s rather clear you aren’t interested in a good faith discussion on the topic. Don’t have the time or energy to put up with that right now.

              Were they also all terrorists?

              There are almost certainly some journalists who have been wrongly killed, as in any war.
