Right-wing extremists in Israel's government are setting their repressive sights on academic freedom. No one, they believe, should be allowed to question their politics in school.

Unlike the still-risible Professor Witchlist in the US, this will be state-imposed, enforced censorship.

Israel still claims to be a democracy, but it allows ever less in the way of human rights.

There were Israelis that predicted after 1967 that occupation of Palestine would destroy Israel's spirit. I have to say they were right. The reason the occupation continues is the Israeli colonies constructed in Palestine by Israelis that want to expel the Palestinians, slowly.

The current Israeli government has sped up the construction, and the expulsion. Most Palestinians have given up hope of ever having a state of Palestine.
