    I like how you quote critical articles from Israeli media, that is a testimony that freedom of speech is very much a real thing there.

    The first article from Haaretz which is very known as anti settlements leftist newspaper. All it says is that instead of giving weapons for the population in the villages and kibbutz and cities around Gaza to defend themselves in case of intrusion, it was given for settlements in the west bank and when the shit hit the fan they were completely unprepared.

    The second article is also an internal criticism of the progroms that went in Huwara. I am happy that criticism of Israel is still possible

    The last one about Itzik Zarka, who should really not get a headline as he’s the lowest form of scum, yeah these people exist but are very much on the fringe of society and do not deserve any attention. Unfortunately Bibi likes to use these people when convenient for him

      your entire argument here is that, it’s not so bad because a newspaper reports on it?

      as if modern propaganda campaigns don’t work mainly by information flooding instead of censorship (this is true even in China)

      also that “lowest form of scum” was voted in, and is to this day part of the government, and while he was the only one who got called out (because he was the first to say it openly) the rest of them are all still there, in positions of power, why? because those in power in Israel are not the victims of WW2, but fans of theocrat-ethno-state who didn’t feel the pain of genocide
