Israel extends ban on Al Jazeera’s operations by 90 days

I'm worried about the impact this is gonna have on journalism . I mean, isn't it supposed to be free to report on what's happening? It seems like they're trying to control what people can and can't talk about online or on TV... . Can't we just focus on telling the stories that need to be told without worrying about getting our necks broken? This feels like a slippery slope where journalists start to get silenced because of who's reporting on certain topics. What's next, I guess?

I don't think this is a good move from Israel . I mean, come on, 9 days notice? That's not exactly transparent, if you ask me . And what about due process? Are they really gonna let a network just get shut down without even giving them a chance to defend themselves?

And let's be real here, this is all about suppressing free speech and controlling the narrative . Al Jazeera is doing its job as a news org, and if it's ruffling some feathers in Israel, that's just part of the deal .

I'm not buying the whole "threat to national security" thing either . That sounds like a pretty weak excuse to me . And what about all those times Al Jazeera has reported on other countries' human rights abuses? Is that suddenly okay?

this is getting outta hand... a 90 day extension? that's just delaying the inevitable al jazeera's not even allowing itself to be silenced by israel i mean what's next? another 6 month ban? a year? and all because they reported on some war crimes in gaza news orgs have a job to do, you can't just shut them down 'cause it makes you uncomfortable and btw, al jazeera's not being a threat to national security... israel's the one who's always talking about defending itself meanwhile, they're doing all the oppressing gotta keep an eye on this
