Haaretz has been fairly liberal and even calling out Israel's government for the last couple years...

I'm honestly surprised how well they've been doing. There's even an article on their homepage now (rightfully) saying Netenyahu is responsible for this entire situation.

its all about to end though.

The state of Israel has evoked laws of war now, and anything that can be considered "harmful to the national morale" means that police can arrest civilians, remove them from their homes, or seize their property if they believe they have spread information that could harm national morale or served as the basis for enemy propaganda.

See: basically everything that doesn't line up with the ultra far right.

During the past week. The ruling political party "Likud", have armed settler militias, and basically assigned them as marshals, and they have been threatening left wing politicians, journalists etc.

There are even Hareetz journalists that have had to flee their home from these settler militias.

looks like Israel's following Russia's footsteps, and USA probably won't bat an eye.
