An awful lot of what comes out of Palestinian journalists is incitement. Is it any surprise that something is being done about it?

- yfj211 10y agoBoy, that's quite a loaded statement considering many Israeli politicians have also repeatedly called for the genocide of Palestinians (http://mondoweiss.net/2015/05/netanyahu-palestinians-government/ http://mondoweiss.net/2015/05/netanyahu-palestinians-governm...). I'm quite surprised nothing is being done about that.
- Peaker 10y agoShaked (an Israeli minister) posted (and thus endorsed) a text that calls for genocide. While many Israeli politicians are terrible, I don't think that single endorsement substantiates your claim that "many Israeli politicans have repeatedly called ...". Even that single endorsement was deleted by Shaked.
- fjjrxcbdhx 10y agoIf even politicians at the highest levels of government are doing it, let alone hate groups inside Israel, it doesn't help the case of Israeli objectivity.
- Peaker 10y agoI didn't say Israel is objective. But the parent post is taking a true point and hyperboling it into a total lie. Israel is bad enough without the lies trying to make it seem even worse -- discrediting its detractors.
- xkaycd 10y agoMondoweiss? That's an extremely biased source. It's propaganda, not journalism.
- ethanbond 10y agoYes. Namely the fact that "incitement" isn't a crime everywhere (and shouldn't be a crime anywhere), whereas apparently the retaliation for doing so is.
