Those who claim that Israel does not allow freedom of the press, should consider how journalists are treated in the Palestinian Authority. While Israel has the largest number of media outlets in the mideast (3rd largest in the world after New York City and London) and explicit rights of freedom of press guaranteed under Israeli law, not a word of copy, or radio broadcast, or television show is allowed unless government authorities in the PA give the okay. And they DON'T give the okay if the news is critical of Arafat.

This short article by Khaled Abu Toameh documents the case of a journalist who has fled the PA with his family after receiving death threats from one of the groups under Arafat's wing.
