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.
