Last month Channel 14, also known as Now 14, beat Israel’s principal mainstream news outlet, Channel 12, in viewer ratings when 343,000 Israelis watched Channel 14’s “Patriots” talkshow, known for its virulent rhetoric on Gaza.

Channel 14 has even questioned the loyalty of the Israeli army because of its perceived lack of ideological zeal. Last week, the spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), R Adm Daniel Hagari, wrote a formal complaint to the broadcasting authority and the ministry of defence accusing Channel 14 of incitement against its leadership.

Just over a month earlier, three Israeli civil society groups formally demanded that the country’s attorney general launch a criminal investigation into the channel, accusing it of broadcasting material that incited war crimes and crimes against humanity, including genocide.

The remarks included guests or presenters using phrases such as “total annihilation” and “exterminate” in reference to people in Gaza. The legal complaint alleged at least 50 of the quotes on the list “call for or support the commission of genocide”.

Israel is what will happen to the US if republicans win on Tuesday

Not related at all to the article. We really need to stop invoking the US election every single time we encounter news of the ongoing Palestinian Genocide.

Nah, Israel gives queer people rights and has universal healthcare.

What will happen to the U.S. will be far worse.

Gay marriage is illegal in Israel. Discrimination against gay people is very common in Israel. It really is not as progressive as people think. Even racism is very prevalent there.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It is not in any way progressive.

But they will not force queer people into conversion camps.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I had to do a double take on that but you are right, they banned lgbt conversion camps two years ago

Something tells me it's not because they care so much about gay people. Pinkwashing is a big thing there and gay marriage is still illegal.

I'm paying a lot of attention to this stuff because my daughter is queer and we're in the U.S.

Technically we could go to Israel because I'm Jewish but fuck me if I will do that to her either. I'm a dual citizen with the UK and, while it's not exactly a queer paradise over there, I'm a hell of a lot less worried about anything like that happening there.

You do know that Israel has engaged in what's called pinkwashing, right?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You do know that the U.S. right-wing elite wants to march queer people into "conversion therapy" camps, right?

Like I said, far worse.
