I can remember when the Bush admin bombed Al Jazeera in Gulf War II It’s a disgusting display of anti democratic authoritarianism, but the Israeli govt has been tbs going back for a very very long time

Exactly. Shutting down a TV station only after a parliamentary vote literally means it’s a democracy. If this was an Israeli TV station in any of the states around Israel, all employees would be in prison. If it was in a Hamas-controlled area, they would be dead.

Since when is it appropriate for politicians to take such decisions? (Should be a court or something.)

They have their Trump, we got one too, let's not be too supercilious. Fact remains that they have a democratic process that allows them to kick Bibi out. They might succeed, we might fail in November.

Pardon me if someone else asked this, but do you think this has anything to do with the Blinken/Qatar/Gaza comments?

NGL, I'm kind of surprised that Bibi didn't bomb the entire building that Al Jazeera was based in, like they did every single building in Gaza that had committed the crime of journalism.

Years ago Hanford gave journalists a tour, but they booted the one from Al Jazeera. I was shocked then but not now.

This is one of the many different ways Israel controls the narrative: silencing journalists who report what Israel is inflicting on the Palestinians.

people have longed for Israel to become "a normal country," and it has. A normal middle eastern country, alas.
