    Perhaps more importantly, Netanyahu also exchanged the director of Shin Bet, as if anticipating that some day, that guy might get a warrant to arrest a certain person accused of war crimes.

    To make it short and get to the point, Israel is also risking their constitutional order by letting Netanyahu run wild. He might decide not to leave at some point.

    Of course.

    The overall dynamic surrounding Israel’s treatment of Palestinians is simple and obvious - Israel’s actions are entirely indefensible, so all the efforts of the people responsible for it and of the many more people enabling it are directed not toward countering criticism, which is impossible, but toward silencing it.

    This is such a bizarrely evil timeline.

      Strange. Does the press not have freedom in israel? The government controls their media entirely?

        Yes In 2024, Israel’s military censor banned 1,635 articles and partially redacted another 6,265, intervening in about 21 news reports per day—more than double the previous peak during wartime and over three times the non-war average.

        Any article dealing with “security issues” must be submitted for military review; editorial teams decide what to submit, but the law

        Media outlets are forbidden from indicating when censorship has occurred, so most interventions remain hidden from the public.
