Amnon Abramowitz hit a rock in the head and heard countless threats against his life. Or Heller from Channel 10 receives threats of personal elimination on Facebook and more and more...
We are in a period where, seeing a distressed feeling in the public that something is wrong there in Jerusalem, they are once again taking to the streets.
What appears to be the initiative of a few becomes a march and demonstration of the presence of the masses.
Not a week, not two weeks! 40 weeks and it's not over.
The demonstrations were a spontaneous expression of citizens and since a week ago have become political and are on the verge of a violent clash.
It is true that the press covers and expresses an opinion, including the retired judge and president of the press council who stated that an infringement of freedom of speech and the press is a serious damage or a serious damage to democracy...so she said.
I ask myself why the journalists who are personally threatened don't mobilize their friends and immigrate to Jerusalem?
There is a press office in Haifa with excellent people.
We have printed locales, national newspapers, supplements, websites, blogs and much more...
What prevents journalists, as a section of Israeli life, in the Israeli economy and in the Israeli spirit, to stand up, unite and express an opinion in a centralized manner against the suppression of freedom of the press?
It is no longer a matter of politics. There is no right and left here, there is a need for media people to stand up and protest!
Leaders of public opinion who appear among their people bring with them a real message of damage to the freedom of the press, threats to their personal safety to the heart of Israeli existence.
There is nothing to fear here should be an integral part of the protest. The majority will demonstrate and individual colleagues will ensure media coverage of their friends who are assimilated into the public, share in its pain and express their protest mainly in view of the apparent fact that the threats to their personal safety are not at the forefront of the police and other enforcement agencies' minds as clear writing on the wall.
