Israel has lost all of my respect in the last year
They should never have had your respect in the first place....
When people recognize they were wrong about something, as smugly satisfying as it may be it's not actually helpful to tell them that they should have been correct sooner.
I don't think it's about being smug. It's about pointing out the important fact that none of this is new except the scale. Divide by 100-1000 and this is just daily life in Palestine.
So Israel’s been shutting down other newspapers before?
No; they just arrest activists and journalists (sometimes but not always have their lackies at the PA do it). Actually shuttering a newspaper is a first AFAIK.
Is that the line? Everything before was fine, but this is what caused them to lose your respect?
Just give it a break for fuck’s sake jesus christ
