Israel now ranks among the world’s leading jailers of journalists. We don’t know why they’re behind bars

New statistics show a spike in the amount of journalists jailed in the country. To protect its democracy, Israel needs to be transparent about why members of the media are arrested.
Oh, we definitively know WHY they are behind bars.

Yeah, what a dumb title.
The Conversation possibly sent journalists to investigate why journalists were being jailed but then they were jailed...
The Middle East's only democracy, their branding goes.
What a lark.

Hamas hasn't allowed Gaza to vote in decades.
I'm well aware. That doesn't make Israel's authoritarian games any less heinous.
