Might Palestinian Press Freedom Gain From UN Statehood Vote?
December 11, 2012 10:48 by Pesach Benson
The Committee to Protect Journalists issued a special report on jailed journalists. Turkey’s the biggest jailer; neither Israel nor Fatahstan or Hamastan made the CPJ’s top ten list (not even per capita).
This snippet has me wondering: How might Palestinian press freedom benefit from the PA’s boosted status at the UN?
Journalists who either disappear or are abducted by nonstate entities such as criminal gangs or militant groups are not included on the prison census. Their cases are classified as “missing” or “abducted.”
I’d like to think this opens new avenues of accountability — Hamas and Fatah don’t have great track records of respecting free expression and free journalism.
But I’m not holding my breath.

OF COURSE, I at FIRST already, seeing that phrase:
” COULD the Palestinians gain freedom of press by the UN bid”,
that this is TOTAL rubbish. WHAT? “GAIN” any FREEDOM?
by HAMAS? ahaha. rather MURDER. hamas murdered six
PALESTINIANS on the STREETS OF GAZA and dragged
one behind one of their MOPEDS, a GUN-WIELDING GANG,
those HAMAS.
BUT just so you ALL know that I HAVE this in MY “backmind”
too: I WOULD not ESCALATE conflicts — BUT neither, NEITHER
the IDF, nor LIAM NEESON does in the movie “TAKEN”. Watch it.
See WHAT happens. WHO does WHAT. THEY ABDUCT GIRLS
and TURN EM INTO HEROINE-ADDICTED PROSTITUES?
THEN KILL ALL THOSE WHO DO THAT. PENG.
