If you try to do this in a Muslim country (take the entire Islamic countries to court for publishing hateful and discriminatory things about women's rights, LGBT, children, violation of free speech), they would laugh at you in your face and some radical group would end up beheading you.

It's amazing how Reddit itself seems to baby Islam (I'm talking about the religion itself and not the "nice people" part of the religion) when Islam has consistently shat on human rights in more ways than any other group in the modern world. Forget Roe v Wade, forget Pride, forget child marriage laws, and forget any talks about Free Speech.

Similar steps were taken by Putin, Orban, Erdogan, Maduro or Trump. Netanyahu has been in power for a long time, this is just another step in a process years in the making.
