Please expect reaction of the world's media outlets, if any, to be muted. there will be no reaction whatsoever from the UN, the EU, the US, or any of the human rights organizations which are so quick to condemn others.

Palestinians shut Arab newspaper, allegedly over report on Israel ties
Publication alleged daily jailing, torturing of anti-Israel protesters; newspaper says closure politically motivated, minister claims it lacked license to operate.



The Palestinian administration in the West Bank shut down the local office of a pan-Arab newspaper this week after accusing it of "offensive" reporting on Palestinian security coordination with Israel, officials said.

. . .

The newspaper, which publishes a broadsheet in London, Beirut and Doha, also alleged torture within Palestinian jails. It branded the closure as politically motivated.


Such domestic scrutiny is touchy for the US-backed Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas.


The Palestinian administration closed Al Araby Al-Jadeed's Ramallah bureau on Tuesday "as it lacked a license to operate", Deputy Information Minister Mahmoud Khalifa told Reuters.

Because, of course, 'THEY' are all soft on 'THEM' and against 'US'.

So let's just ignore them and spend a nice quiet evening listening to Ben Carson and others who see these media outlets for what they are.​
