The only democracy in the Middle East.
?
Well…
The US did overthrow most of the others to install religious extremists because it’s easier to bribe a few people into cheap oil than an entire country of democratic voters…
It’s like popping the tires of a coworker you like on the night shift so you’re their only option for a ride home. It’s true, but you’re the reason you’re her only option, and she really shouldn’t get in your car.
Looking forward to someone coming in here to tell us that Hamas is forcing Israel to do that.
If an israel commits a Genocide and there’s no journalist to document it, does the israel still commit Genocide?
Yes
Trick question! Isreal is immune to committing genocide!
you activated my trap card!
After Israel seized the AP equipment, the Biden administration, journalism organizations and an Israeli opposition leader condemned the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and pressured it to reverse the decision.
Israel’s communications minister, Shlomo Karhi, said late Tuesday on the social platform X: “I have now ordered to cancel the action and return the equipment to the AP.”
A terrible decision but it was reversed.
looks like the white house had something to say about it more so than a press release
This is the best summary I could come up with:
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli officials seized a camera and broadcasting equipment belonging to The Associated Press in southern Israel on Tuesday, accusing the news organization of violating a new media law by providing images to Al Jazeera.
“The Associated Press decries in the strongest terms the actions of the Israeli government to shut down our longstanding live feed showing a view into Gaza and seize AP equipment,” said Lauren Easton, vice president of corporate communications at the news organization.
We urge the Israeli authorities to return our equipment and enable us to reinstate our live feed immediately so we can continue to provide this important visual journalism to thousands of media outlets around the world.”
Officials from the Communications Ministry arrived at the AP location in the southern town of Sderot on Tuesday afternoon and seized the equipment.
They handed the AP a piece of paper, signed by Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, alleging it was violating the country’s foreign broadcaster law.
Al Jazeera is one of the few international news outlets that has remained in Gaza throughout the war, broadcasting scenes of airstrikes and overcrowded hospitals and accusing Israel of massacres.
