Israel is increasing curbs on media freedom, with the Al Jazeera Media Community a major goal.
Israel is intensifying its crackdown on media protection of its struggle on Gaza and different assaults.
The Al Jazeera Media Community has once more been focused, this time within the occupied West Financial institution, with its places of work closed down by armed and masked troopers and its operations suspended for 45 days.
A controversial media legislation, handed in April, means motion might be taken in opposition to overseas journalists for allegedly harming Israel’s safety.
And it’s not simply the overseas media that’s complaining.
Even Israeli media is underneath scrutiny and its protection of the struggle has to undergo army censors.
So, how far will Israel go in proscribing media freedom?
