Israeli lawmakers voted 71-10 in favor of a bill that will allow Prime Minister Netanyahu to ban the news network Al Jazeera from operating in Israel, citing national security concerns over its coverage of the war in Gaza. Live updates:
Syrian state media reported that at least five people were killed in the airstrike near Iran’s embassy in Damascus.
Ban Al Jazeera and ban tiktok so Netanyahu can further embrace his inner Hitler.

Absolutely disgusting to see them ban a news network. This is why I give 0 shits about the national security card when free speech is on the table. India does this authoritarian crap as well to shut down dissent. This is why we must push back on authoritarians whether we support the network or not.
Al Jazeera has a lot of predictably slanted coverage, but not egregiously so, and some reportage is straight down the middle and well confirmed. I find it awkward to say this but IMO it's true. Haaretz is pretty much the same from the other side. IMO let the readers decide.
The only democracy in the Middle East, eh?
Zionists do whatever tf they want to peoples rights. Just look at the kids in Gaza.
Israel is doomed if they do not get rid of this government ASAP
If enacted, Al Jazeera could be prohibited from broadcasting content in Israel and forced to close its local offices.
Syrian state media reported that at least five people were killed in the airstrike near Iran’s embassy in Damascus.
Of course
