Re: Israel Lifts Order of Silence in Journalist’s Spying Case
In my opinion Israel is behaving suspiciously. Secretly holding a journalist under house arrest for nearly four months is not part of the program of an honest nation. The journalist is suspect of fraud and the theft with intent to harm Israel of some 2,000 military documents. It is thought that she used some of those papers to write her articles before being arrested. I understand not wanting sensitive information to be leaked to the public, or military intelligence leaked to anyone but the treatment of the journalist bring the whole operation as suspect. Gag orders, house arrest and potential jail sentences seem a bit extreme when it isn’t proved she stole or used the documents. It seems mostly to be a wrong place wrong time scenario. If Israel is seeking trust from the world and its allies it must begin to act in an upright manner, all these backhanded and under handed dealings are damaging to their image and to their state. What building can expect to stand on such shaky foundations?
