Right-wing American journalist Tucker Carlson and his staff were reportedly detained in Israel on Wednesday following an interview with an American official.
The story is not a nothing-burger. Just because Israel has normalized harassing journalists it does not get to be a “normal occurrence”. Also they stopped a conservative journalist for criticism of Israel it is certainly not a random event.
At this point y’all aren’t disagreeing about what happened or if it was good/bad, just about how terms like “normal” and “nothing burger” should be used.
Mainstream media has destroyed the meaning of the word “journalist”. Tucker asks more critical questions about Israel than most pretend journalists these days.
This is not normal whatsoever. It is intimidation of journalists criticizing Israel.
If it’s how they operate, it’s normal for their country, by definition.
They’re straight up saying it’s not good.

We are disagreeing whether the story is noteworthy or something that should be considered “normal”.
Words have meaning which is why these semantical discussions are important.
LOL, ‘journalist’.
Still not worse than ‘israel’
