In February, Association for Civil Rights in Israel executive
director Sharon Abraham-Weiss blasted Netanyahu for “lashing out against
the media,” saying it’s “an almost regular occurrence,” a matter “of
genuine concern.”
He’s waging war on free expression and the rule of law. Repressive
legislation portrays “(s)ocial and human rights activi(sts) as
traitors,” wanting them” forcibly eliminate(d) from the Israeli
discourse…”
Free expression is the most fundamental of all rights. Without it,
all others are threatened. Israel increasingly compromises media
freedoms. They end where alleged national security begins, notably for
Palestinians – targeted by phony accusations of involvement in
“incitement” or ties to terrorist organizations, meaning occupation
harshness opponents.
