Nothing says, “we’re definitely not planning to do some war crimes, and for sure no genocide” like banning people from telling the truth.
“Everybody leave Gaza because we’re gonna invade it to gain territory”
“Whoops I mean to stop terrorists”
Its free real estate
It has nothing to do with territory, the Gaza strip isn’t even particularly good land outside of the water access. Moreover the land that was good agriculturally has been routinely blighted by Israelis, the last big one I remember was burning down 100+yr old olive trees and essentially salting the land.
Lol ah yes, territory being purely for agricultural or other means and not purely religiously “also this is our land and we want that sand”
Ugh, who would want that Gulag
Ben Givir and his armed fellowship of settlers apparently.
Haaretz reports that Karhi—a member of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud Party—is preparing draft emergency regulations titled “Limiting Aid to the Enemy through Communication” which would allow him to direct police to arrest any civilian, remove them from their home, and seize their property if he believes they have disseminated information that might harm national morale or be used as “enemy propaganda.”
The new regulations will apply to the general public as well as local and foreign media professionals—and will be applicable to both truthful and inaccurate reporting.
I mean, I guess they’re trending in the right direction since they normally just murder journalists in the street…
might harm national morale
Those in power that make these rules usually decide that speaking out against those in power is “harmful to morale”. I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.
Hey, what year is it again? 1984, is that right?
Israeli right wing is so out of control they’re going to cause a third diaspora.
This wasn’t already on the books? Well at least they aren’t just shooting them like they usually do.

The only shocking thing is that its not already in the books.
Especially considering the videos in the past about IDF/Israeli Police harassing reporters and threatening them to report things to the benefit of Israel, instead of the truth.
The article has an embedded side-note indicating that the measure is unlikely to pass.
It doesn’t need to pass. Those people won’t see cells anyways. They’re going to be disappeared and it will be blamed on hamas.
Totally the move of a country with nothing to hide and definitely isn’t reaponsible for any atrocities. My question is why bother with laws when Isreal has already murdered multiple journalists this week with little outcry coming of it.
Isn’t this what the liberals want? For government to be in charge of what we’re allowed to say?
