Could be. The point is there may be other reasons the journalist was denied access other than specifically being critical of Netanyahu. If that were truly a red line, no journalists would likely be given access in Israel.
@AlliFlowers @mplawner @noahshachtman @RollingStone Today I learned of yet another right leaning rag.https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/camera-committee-for-accuracy-in-middle-east-reporting-and-analysis/
I just want better Anti-Zionists. People that have a nuanced critique of Israel which doesn't dehumanise Jews, Arabs, Israelis, or Palestinians
Speaking of accountability...
Donald Trump added $7.8 TRILLION DOLLARS to the national debt in only 4 years!
AND... the Republican party gave themselves a $3 TRILLION DOLLAR tax break when they ran congress and Trump was in office.
We NEVER hear about THAT lack of accountability by the Republicans!

We’re haunted by the federal debt, it’s $33.6 trillion now … we must reduce federal spending and make sure there's accountability.
Where are my handbag lovers? I haven’t found any yet. #Mastodon what’s up?!
This is outrageous. Israel's government has denied
@RollingStone a press credential after our critical coverage of Netanyahu and the widening conflict.

Iran arrests lawyer at funeral of girl who died after metro incident
Nasrin Sotoudeh arrested at funeral of Armita Garavand, who died after alleged encounter with morality police, amid reports of police beatings and arrests at cemetery
Iranian authorities have arrested a prominent lawyer and human rights defender as she attended the funeral of a teenage girl who died after a disputed metro incident, her husband has said.
The #antisemitism directed at American Jews isn't only vile but it's also totally misplaced. Overwhelming majorities of us oppose settlements and favor the creation of a Palestinian state. Most of us hate Bibi and this Israeli gov. Israel ranks as our 10th most important issue, out of 14, in J Street polling.
It's fucking maddening. But I guess it's always the case that "dumb bigot" is redundant.
The New House Speaker Claims to Have a Black Son and Everything About It Is Super Weird
In the days since House Republicans elected some guy named Mike Johnson to be their new speaker, we have been subjected to learning who this guy is and every horrifying thing he has ever done, said, or supported.

President #Biden is considering canceling student debt for borrowers whose balances have ballooned because of interest accrual, those who’ve been trying to repay for 25 years and students who attended low-performing colleges, administration officials said.

@TonyStark @littlemiao Rather than saying "The Fediverse has an antisemitism problem," which implies that this is a platform issue, let's just be clearer, more direct, and more honest: The world has an antisemitism problem.
