The move comes at the same time Israeli government officials announced thousands of new settlement units in the West Bank and mere days after the killing of more than 60 protesters on May 14, the same day the United States moved its embassy to Jerusalem.

The bill would also penalize the distribution of photo or video content on social networks or in the media, effectively hampering journalistic work and limiting the freedom of the press.

Israeli soldiers have a long history of human rights violations and extrajudicial killings, and the bill some fear would consolidate impunity.
Plans in Palestine needs to be done on the sly & under the cover of darkness, away from prying Israel spies–> Maniac paranoia. The truth needs to keep getting out…journalists also in disguise with quick photo shots. Every form of Hamas defence & Hamas dispersed… don’t be a ripe plum ready to be picked off by Israel war planes. As a rebel in: Education System I was always spied on … I have a hawk eye & got advanced premonitions so nothing was a surprise to me & I could retain my composure. GOD BLESS PALESTINE PEOPLE: Everything is work in progress… step by step turn negatives to positives.
