In yet another bad sign for #democracy:
#Netanyahu has essentially banned #FreePress in #Israel. His cabinet *voted* to kick #AlJazeera out of Israel says its #journalists are threats to #NationalSecurity.
I guess the pen truly is mightier than the sword & all that.

#BREAKING: #AlJazeera is reporting, "Israeli forces shot and killed a U.S. peace activist in the occupied West Bank, according to eyewitnesses.
Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a U.S. citizen, was 26. She was working with the same peace activism movement [International Solidarity Movement ISM] that Rachel Corrie belonged to. Corrie, also a U.S. citizen, was killed by an Israeli bulldozer in 2003 while trying to stop the demolition of a Palestinian home in Rafah.
Aysenur was taking part in a weekly demonstration in Beita against Israel’s occupation and settler dispossession of Palestinian land."
