If, God forbid, it ends with the murder of journalists, let them not say upstairs that they weren't warned
The column describes an escalation in threats against media outlets in Israel, including spray-painted graffiti, shattered windows, and threatening letters. The author criticizes the delayed police response and the government's silence, warning of severe consequences if the violence leads to the murder of journalists.
The column describes a rise in threats against media outlets in Israel: spray-painted graffiti outside Channel 13 six months ago, shattered windows at the entrances to Channel 12 and Haaretz three weeks ago, and today, a shattered door at Channel 12 along with a threatening letter. The author notes this is an escalation but emphasizes that the response to the violence is no less concerning: it took the police commissioner three weeks to condemn the acts, a police officer told reporter Vered Pelman the phrase "Tir'ale 11" in court and still serves, and most government members remain silent. The author links this to the recent media law and warns that if the violence ends with the murder of journalists, they cannot claim they were not warned.
