What's insane is they still have a very pro-Bibi slant...

It's just not 100% loyalty, so it's not enough for a far right religious ethnostates's government in the middle of a genocide.

This is how it goes, they pick off anyone who's not 100% for them one by one.

They're not censoring it, they're just not giving it government support. That's fair enough, even if you hate the Israeli government for other reasons.

Nobody said they were censoring it.

I was just clarifying that they weren't censoring it.
