Israel Bars Journalists

Again, Israel is shutting out journalists from doing any reporting on their already-in-progress offensive in the West Bank and Gaza. Conveniently, if foreign correspondents aren't allowed in and "indigenous" reporters are kept under house arrest, nobody's gonna be approaching anything resembling the facts for some time.

So, like in Jenin, we'll only be treated to speculative reporting well after the fact, when most of the unpleasantries are covered up or already spun into the proper IDF-approved "context". And, of course, whenever journalists start to get too pesky, or if they approach the truth, they can always be intimidated and/or shot at.
