Online Media Banned in Lebanon

From Craig Murray:
“It is illegal to report from Lebanon without prior accreditation by the Ministry of Information.
On the day Niels and I arrived in the country, a new rule was introduced by the Ministry specifically excluding online media from accreditation, which is now limited to print newspapers and broadcast TV stations only.
All freelance journalists and independent TV production companies are also specifically excluded. ”

“The German Bundestag, the lower house of parliament, has overwhelmingly approved a resolution to combat anti-Semitism.

The text calls for a ban on public funding for any group “that spreads anti-Semitism, calls into question Israel’s right to exist or calls for a boycott of Israel”.

In cases of anti-Semitic acts in schools and universities, it calls for those responsible to be excluded from classes or even expelled.

The motion received broad support from a range of political parties, including the centre-left Social Democrats, the conservative CDU-CSU, the Greens and the liberal Free Democrats.

About 100 Jewish artists and intellectuals living in Germany said in a statement the resolution would “weaken, rather than strengthen, the diversity of Jewish life in Germany by associating all Jews with the actions of the Israeli government”.”
