Counter Current News<\/em> has the article No Outrage For Palestinian Cartoonist Who Was Arrested and Jailed In Israel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The State alleged that Saba\u2019aneh 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\u2019aneh\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Saba\u2019aneh 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 \u201ccontact with a hostile organization.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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<\/a>?<\/p>\n

It should be emphasized that killing of journalists and media workers is a violation of international law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span>Warning sarcasm runs wild inside. Open this at your own risk<\/div>
You know, you really have to wonder where these Islamist terrorists could get the idea to do some of the heinous stuff they do. We all know that this behavior is universally abhorred. Don’t we all share the reverence for freedom of speech and the press? These Islamic terrorists should learn from our western style civilized behavior.<\/div><\/div>\n

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<\/a> on Tim Wise’s post.<\/p>\n

The comment mentions the article Death threats to Haaretz journalists appear on right-winger\u2019s Facebook page<\/a>. In commenting on a political cartoon that Haaretz had published, this article said the following:<\/p>\n

\nThe 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)\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
