Counter Current News has the article No Outrage For Palestinian Cartoonist Who Was Arrested and Jailed In Israel.

The State alleged that Saba’aneh had contacted a publishing company about publishing his cartoons in a book. That Jordanian publisher also put out a book about Palestinian prisoners. The State of Israel said that this book was a threat to national security. Saba’aneh’s contact with this publisher was thereby used as a pretext to lock up the controversial cartoonist before he could connect with a broader audience via this publishing house.

Saba’aneh was ultimately sentenced to five months in jail after serving out his informal and continuously extended detention. He was also fined 10,000 shekels for his “contact with a hostile organization.”

Well, I mean jailing someone is not like a terrorist attack that killed people.  OK, what about the article These 17 Journalists Were Killed by Israel In Gaza?

It should be emphasized that killing of journalists and media workers is a violation of international law.

Thanks to Tim Wise for posting this on his Facebook page.

Just to give myself some cover against people who might think this post is outrageous for whatever reasons, I have this additional information from one of the respondents on Tim Wise’s post.

The comment mentions the article Death threats to Haaretz journalists appear on right-winger’s Facebook page. In commenting on a political cartoon that Haaretz had published, this article said the following:

The cartoon that sparked the death threats (captions in Hebrew read: 10 journalists killed in attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris (top), about 13 journalists killed last summer in attack on Gaza (bottom)

What I take away from this exchange is that if an Israeli newspaper can remark about journalists killed in Gaza, then the topic should not be taboo for me to even mention. This is to say nothing about the reported comments from the right wing in Israel. I’ll let you think about that part of the story on your own.
