Freedom of the Press in Palestine

Arafat's goon squads are warning journalists not to report on the political chaos in the Palestinian "Authority":

Several armed Palestinian militias in the Gaza Strip on Monday threatened to attack journalists working for Arab satellite stations because of their continued focus on the power struggle in the Palestinian Authority.
I blame Ashcroft.

Remember, post 9/11, when the story of Palestinians celebrating the attacks suddenly dropped from sight? Death threats against the cameramen who shot the footage? And thus the networks rolled over?

Yeah, only in post-Patriot Act AmeriKKKa, maaan! Uh, I mean...

"British journalist denied entry to Israel on grounds that she is 'not objective'
A British journalist has been detained since Wednesday at Ben-Gurion International Airport after security forces denied her entry into the country on the grounds that she is a left-wing activist who could not be objective in her portrayal of local events and who could unknowingly assist violent organizations.

The journalist, 26-year-old Eva Jasiewicd, was interrogated for seven hours Wednesday by Defense Ministry officials.

The questioning resulted in a ministry decision to deport her from Israel, possibly as soon as Friday morning."

Yeah, Rabii, goons threatening violence against a journalist is just the same as an open governmental investigative procedure against one...

Just wouldn't want anyone fantasizing about a free press in Israel.
