Israeli Minister Pushes New Law To Punish Those Who Question Israel's Commitment to Democracy

• jonathanturley

Regev is the author of a "cultural loyalty" bill that would allow fines or withdrawing support for any institution for a host of free speech violations, including "the denial of Israel's democratic nature." Thus, the bill would allow Israel to punish those who challenge its commitment to democracy so that Israel can show that it is a democracy. Follow? Let's try again. If someone denies Israel is a true democracy, they will be punished of using their free speech to criticize the government. Well, the important thing is that it all makes sense to Regev. It is taken from the same oxymoronic lesson book as "the beatings will continue until morale improves" or "destroying a village to save it."
