What is this Israeli "self-censorship" claim? BS. Haaretz publishes plenty about the atrocities in progress. Far more than the American media dares to publish.

The editorial scrutiny here is minimal at best.

Last year Israel's military censor banned 1,635 articles and partially redacted another 6,265

okay! I agree. But Haaertz does a better job than the US media does. Gotta give them that.

It's wartime, so censorship is publicly asknowledged there.

I might add that journalists in Gaza are often killed.

Haaretz is currently boycotted by the Israeli govt since Nov 2024, though not the same as a ban.

aljazeera banned. I was reading it daily during the attacks on Iran. They had updates every few minutes. Nothing I saw was not factual, AFAIK.

bbc reports occasionally on the Gaza situation. Like this

What happened to the US media? It all seems to be recipes, dating advice, wellness tips on the front pages.

I am in the US but get my news from elsewhere. It is not an option anymore;-)

Haaretz is the only mainstream media to report regularly on Palestinian casualties. It has a readership of less than 5% [1].
