The situation here is a story that is fascinating, compelling and important.
Yet, the media — the international media, at least — is scared of covering this situation, this conflict.
They are scared of offending one or more likely both sides, scared of being criticized, menaced … and intimidated.
Once a journalist is intimidated — and scared — it becomes impossible to do the job properly.
Nothing is being done to prevent this — despite all the talk about democracy and democratic freedoms of press and of expression, etc.
The harassment and humiliation of three female journalists (probably all of Arabic origin) going to interview the Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu last week is a case in point.
It is not the first time it happened.
That means that there was no policy decision to stop it.
The PM’s office was well aware it could/would happen. And, they were either standing right there, as they were the last time it happened, or they were very nearby.
And, it just happened again.
