ISRAEL TRUTH TIMES

A blog dedicated to investigating events as they occur in Judea and Samaria, in Israel and in the world, and as they relate to global powers and/or to the Israeli government, public figures, etc. It is dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the headlines; and in so doing, it strives to do its part in saving Judea and Samaria, and by extension, Israel and the Jewish People, from utter destruction at the hands of its many external and internal enemies.

.... On the other hand, THIS is a very bad development. Everybody agrees it is the government's way to shut people up. Well, I guess we are just going to have to have the courage of our opinions. At any rate, people outside Israel don't have to worry



'Talkback Law' Passes Initial Hearing 29:2

(IsraelNN.com) The "talkback law" proposed by MK Israel Hasson (Yisrael Beiteinu) passed an initial hearing on Wednesday afternoon.  The law would hold those who write talkbacks on the Internet legally responsible for their words.  Site owners could be prosecuted for talkbacks containing libel or incitement if they refuse to reveal the writer's identity.

Hasson explained Wednesday that he hoped the law would "promise freedom of expression, and not freedom of incitement."  MK Shelly Yechimovich (Labor) was one of only two MKs to vote against the law, saying it violated laws protecting freedom of expression.
