- DaveZale 1y agoWhat is this Israeli "self-censorship" claim? BS. Haaretz publishes plenty about the atrocities in progress. Far more than the American media dares to publish. The editorial scrutiny here is minimal at best.

- nabla9 1y agoLast year Israel's military censor banned 1,635 articles and partially redacted another 6,265 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Israel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Israel Pressure, intimidation, and censorship: Israeli journalists have faced growing repression in the past year https://rsf.org/en/pressure-intimidation-and-censorship-israeli-journalists-have-faced-growing-repression-past-year https://rsf.org/en/pressure-intimidation-and-censorship-isra...
- DaveZale 1y agookay! I agree. But Haaertz does a better job than the US media does. Gotta give them that. It's wartime, so censorship is publicly asknowledged there. I might add that journalists in Gaza are often killed.
- FireBeyond 1y agoThe Israeli Military Censor has nothing to do with there being a "war" now. They've been censoring news in Israel since the late 1970s.
- frollogaston 1y agoHaaretz is currently boycotted by the Israeli govt since Nov 2024, though not the same as a ban.
- DaveZale 1y agoaljazeera banned. I was reading it daily during the attacks on Iran. They had updates every few minutes. Nothing I saw was not factual, AFAIK. bbc reports occasionally on the Gaza situation. Like this https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg4rwrkdlzxo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg4rwrkdlzxo What happened to the US media? It all seems to be recipes, dating advice, wellness tips on the front pages. I am in the US but get my news from elsewhere. It is not an option anymore;-)
- transfer92 1y agoBBC is not perfect either: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0k7n6kd8yxo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0k7n6kd8yxo "In February the BBC apologised over "serious flaws" in the making of the programme about children's lives in Gaza, after it was revealed its 13-year-old narrator was the son of a Hamas minister."
- NomDePlum 1y agoThere was no correction on what was actually said though. It's a terrible state of affairs when who someone is related to, is of more concern than the horrific and constant terrors they and other children have had inflicted upon them by Israel for nearly 2 years.
- DaveZale 1y agoagree. Typical propaganda approach, harp on some minor point to change the discussion. Some say Neta created Hamas to weaken another organization at the time. The whole history of what's been happening there is very complicated and nuanced. The motto of their intel org reads, "by way of deception, though shalt do war" so it's not surprising that truth seems artificially scarce.
- ciconia 1y agoHaaretz is the only mainstream media to report regularly on Palestinian casualties. It has a readership of less than 5% [1]. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_newspapers_in_Israel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_newspapers_in_Israel

- DaveZale 1y agoplease explain. Gaza has been destroyed. So which country do you refer to? The whole of Israel was formerly Palestine. And the nyt article infers that the creation of Israel was a reaction to a previous genocide. That is false. It was plotted since the 19th century.

- DaveZale 1y agonever forget! Isn't that the rallying cry? You know how to search. Find the map. Know the history. https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/12s6lq5/this_map_of_palestine_was_published_by_national/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/12s6lq5/this_map_o... from Natgeo Israeli soldiers are killing not only others but themselves. We have to know the truth, otherwise we're all just lost at sea without a compass, or even a map.
- tguvot 1y agofirst comment on your link: What's important to remember is that at this point (as in prior to 1948) both Jews and Arabs were referred to as Palestinians since it was the common name for the region besides this i am not sure what exactly this map supposed to show. 30 years before that this area was called "province syria palestina" and was part of ottoman empire for hundreds of years
- nick_ 1y agoQuick question: what are Arabs who live in Israel called?

- CjHuber 1y agoI honestly don‘t understand how someone can frame October 7 as genocidal. Gaza was a pressure cooker due to Israel’s inhumane treatment and something like this was to be expected, and I my opinion this was provoked to justify the collective punishment and weakening of not just hamas but the entire Palestinian population. For years Netanyahu openly admitted he was “bolstering Hamas” with Qatari cash to sabotage a Palestinian state [1] All in all, Israel’s historical pattern of leveraging crises for territorial or political gain makes it reasonable to suspect that they were less interested in preventing October 7 than in exploiting it [1] https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/20/benjamin-netanyahu-hamas-israel-prime-minister https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/20/benjam...
- poulpy123 1y ago> how someone can frame October 7 as genocidal. it's totally insane to frame a killing as despicable as it is like here as genocidal.

- derelicta 1y agoAs you should. But the Gaza genocide does not stem from a religious conflict. It comes from a war of conquest led and engineered by the West to protect its last colony. It would be more like if Americans had decided to wipe out the Vietnamese and replace the inhabitants of Vietnam with Westerners.
