Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged on Monday (1 April) to shutter the local office of Qatari satellite television network Al Jazeera while the war in Gaza continues.
Hours after his party spokesperson said parliament would be convened to ratify the necessary law, the Knesset approved the bill allowing the temporary closure in Israel of foreign broadcasters considered to be a threat to national security.
Al Jazeera, which is funded by the Qatari government, called the Israeli measure an “escalation” and said it “comes as part of a series of systematic Israeli attacks to silence Al Jazeera,” according to a statement late on Monday.
I wouldn’t call that dictatorship. The U.S. wants to ban a whole foreign app, is that a dictatorship?
The reasons behind the ban are very different.
Mmm, I think both are labeled “national security”
China and Israel are currently fairly close in their dictatorial, genocidal governing style. America isn’t there … yet. If the orange kumquat is elected that may change.

Sure, that’s what I’m going to believe.
What ?
Do you understand how much pressure they are under to please the supreme leader?
Do you even understand that Iran has a supreme leader?

Classy language.
I’m willing to volunteer 5 seconds.
Please, explain.
I’m not playing this pointless game anymore. Especially not with someone who apparently considers the phrase “you people” racist
It is definitely racist but in this context it’s clear you did not use it that way.
It’s almost like context determines what something “is”
You do you.
But I didn’t say racist.
