Sounds a lot like communism.
Sounds a lot like communism.
As Israel's war in Gaza extends southward by turning Rafah into the focal point of the conflict, the Netanyahu government has also amplified its concurrent operations to control the flow of information coming out of the warzone. In keeping on that trajectory, Israeli officials accused the Associated Press of violating recently passed legislation that has allowed the country to ban international news outlets under the pretense of protecting national security interests. A new censorship law was passed in April, aimed at banning the Qatari-owned Al Jazeera network whose operations ceased in Israel in early May after police raided the broadcasters office in occupied East Jerusalem. Al Jazeera rebuked claims it was a threat to Israel's national security, calling the allegation a "dangerous and ridiculous lie", echoing forewarnings that the new legislation will be used to censor opponents of the war. That ominous portent proved to be prescient for the Associated Press, who became the latest news organization to fall prey to Israel's censorship complex after being accused of providing images to Al Jazeera. . . .
