Nothing says democracy like non-freedom of the press.
Israel isn’t a democracy. They even stopped pretending in 2018 when they passed the Nation-State law and officially became an apartheid state. Parts of the law say:
“The right to exercise national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people.”
“The state views the development of Jewish settlement as a national value and will act to encourage and promote its establishment and consolidation.”
It also made Hebrew the official language downgraded Arabic to a language that could be accommodated.
It’s like considering the U.S. a democracy before the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924. (America still wasn’t a modern democracy at that point because of Jim Crow laws but at least Native Americans were theoretically considered citizens instead of a separate people who lived in special zones.)
Like when the UK banned press from Germany during ww2?
Are you claiming that was right?
Yes.
Israel just bombed Aljazeera Journalists. It looks like their new target went from UNRWA to Aljazeera
