No, there is a limit to what is disproportionate.

People murder each other every day, yet the governments, where murder is illegal, can’t cope with it or what?

No, because it would require so much intervention (censoring) to stop it completely, that it’s better to let some people do it.

It’s weird that you automatically assume it’s something major without any supporting information.

It could just as easily be leaking information to the press or something else minor. We don’t know, nothing has been divulged.

An investigation could find a potential crime, or it could clear him. We don’t know because the investigation has not happened.

Even if the investigation finds a potential crime, it still has to go to trial. You would impose punishment without a trial? Imagine the outrage if this was the other way around.

In the UK we have a doctrine called the separation of powers. The institutions of the state are meant to divided in order to prevent tyranny. The division is as follows: the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. It's not perfect and there is corruption, but it works for the most part.

Sounds like the executive (Netanyahu) in this case is trying to neuter the judiciary. I don't know the situation in Israel but this doesn't sound good for a democratic society.

Well, it’s enough to know that whatever information he shared merits a criminal investigation. It’s super weird how some people just go to bat for the worst of us. It’s also weird seeing people rush to lick boots.

If this guy did nothing wrong, cool. But the fact that a criminal investigation has been opened on this guy immediately after retiring says that his pension should likely be at risk if he in fact did some crime.

We should expect better from those who wear the shield. Simple as that.

That's really blatantly untrue. Ever since Musk has taken over, right wing accounts get promoted to my timeline at an absurd rate, to the point that they sometimes make up 50% of the timeline. The only interaction I have with them is clicking the "mute" button, and yet they come. Either they are all specifically paying for the privilege of being displayed to me, or the algorithm has developed an insane bias in that direction.
