    I’d take anything published by Jerusalem Post as inherently incapable of being unbiased about Israel/Palestine. Let’s wait for a third party confirmation before making this claim.

      At least they’re using a newspaper and not a random and super obviously idf propaganda Twitter account like some I’ve seen

        Using an Israeli newspaper is basically writing IDF propaganda, considering they have to submit every article to the IDF for review…

        Refworld gives Israel a press freedom score of 33/100.

        media outlets are subject to military censorship and gag orders, and journalists often face travel restrictions.

        https://www.refworld.org/reference/annualreport/freehou/2017/en/118918

        Censorship in Israel is officially carried out by the Israeli Military Censor, a unit in the Israeli government officially tasked with carrying out preventive censorship regarding the publication of information that might affect the security of Israel. The body is headed by the Israeli Chief Censor

        On average, 2240 press articles in Israel are censored by the Israeli Military Censor each year, approximately 240 of which in full, and around 2000 partially.

        Articles concerning potentially controversial topics must be submitted to the Israeli Military Censor in advance; failing to do so may cause the reporter to lose his right to work as a journalist in Israe

          lose his right to work as a journalist in Israe[al]

          in US everyone is a journalist by claim and the authorities must respect that.
