This is a threat to journalism in general and therefore to any democracy.</p><p>[1] Source: <a href="https://www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/israeli-public-figures-accuse-judiciary-of-ignoring-incitement-to-genocide-in-gaza/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/ar</span><span class="invisible">ticle/israeli-public-figures-accuse-judiciary-of-ignoring-incitement-to-genocide-in-gaza/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GazaGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaGenocide</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Justice</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FakeNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FakeNews</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Journalism</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Journalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Journalist</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Journalists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Journalists</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Democracy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Democracies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Democracies</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Prosecution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Prosecution</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Prosecute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Prosecute</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ICJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICJ</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ICC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICC</span></a></p>
