When people recognize they were wrong about something, as smugly satisfying as it may be it's not actually helpful to tell them that they should have been correct sooner.

I don't think it's about being smug. It's about pointing out the important fact that none of this is new except the scale. Divide by 100-1000 and this is just daily life in Palestine.

So Israel’s been shutting down other newspapers before?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No; they just arrest activists and journalists (sometimes but not always have their lackies at the PA do it). Actually shuttering a newspaper is a first AFAIK.

Is that the line? Everything before was fine, but this is what caused them to lose your respect?
