JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel has ordered the shutdown of a dovish Israeli-Palestinian radio station, officials and the station's operators said on Sunday.
The station and other critics said the move was politically motivated, and part of a broader assault on democracy by conservative forces in the government.
Some members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition have pushed forward a series of measures recently that critics say are aimed at stifling opponents.
Among the proposed legislation are attempts to block most foreign funding for dovish nonprofit groups, lowering the threshold for politicians to file libel suits against the media, and a push to shift control of Supreme Court appointments from an independent panel to parliament.
Conservative lawmaker Danny Danon boasted that he had helped close the "All for Peace" radio station. Danon, a member of Netanyahu's Likud Party, claimed the Communications Ministry shuttered the station at his request, after he claimed it "incited" against Israel. MORE>>>
(TLS)- I really hope this isn't the beginning stages of preparing their public for war with Iran. I honestly don't think Israel has the good sense not to start a war with Iran. I really don't think they give a shit at all about the rest of the world and global markets let alone the USA that would be forced into preventing this belligerent country from being attacked by the whole Arab world. How many Americans will die this time for Israels "security".
