To add some nuance, he didn’t necessarily censor criticism, but would not work with reporters who publicly signed a letter criticizing Israel (I think I’m reading that correctly).

I hate how Israel goes to extreme measures to censor criticism, but it seems like there may the issue of a reporter making that criticism public and then reporting on the matter. Any controversy about motives could detract from the actual issues at hand.

I’m not making any comment about the appropriateness of the decision, just trying to provide nuance.
