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.

The Israeli Military Censor has nothing to do with there being a "war" now. They've been censoring news in Israel since the late 1970s.

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

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