What 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.

Last year Israel's military censor banned 1,635 articles and partially redacted another 6,265

okay! 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.

The Israeli Military Censor has nothing to do with there being a "war" now. They've been censoring news in Israel since the late 1970s.

Haaretz is currently boycotted by the Israeli govt since Nov 2024, though not the same as a ban.

Haaretz is the only mainstream media to report regularly on Palestinian casualties. It has a readership of less than 5% [1].

It's difficult to not do some whataboutism with Sudan.

It could also be seen as genocide against genocide because of oct 7: Egypt, iran and hamas have setup ugly conditions for this war.

The unwillingness of Hamas to disarm and liberate hostages made this war uglier than it should, and Palestinians would probably agree.

It's a bit true that Israel uses the Holocaust to justify what it's doing, to me that is historically understandable, but it doesn't justify everything either.

Those events are not happening in a vacuum. Hamas is an Iranian proxy at Israel's border. Imagine if the EU or the US had a border with an Iranian proxy, with jihadists etc.

I try to think what Israel could have done better. If Israel has been less aggressive in Gaza, Hamas would be much stronger and they would have more hostages.

I don't think there is a timeline where things could have been better.
