NEW YORK -- The Israeli military told The New York Times on Friday to withhold publishing additional information about an Israeli soldier reportedly captured by Palestinian militants until it is first reviewed by a censor.

The Times acknowledged the order in an article Friday on the abrupt collapse of a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.

The Times added the new paragraph nearly six hours after first publishing the article, according to Newsdiffs, a site that tracks changes in news stories online.

A Times spokeswoman did not have any immediate comment on the paper's handling of the censorship notification.

The Israeli government recently issued a media gag order related to the killings of three Israeli teenagers and one Palestinian teenager, violence that helped lead to the current conflict. While the news media faced restrictions, the Times' Robert Mackey wrote that "a vigorous, at times frightening, public discussion of the killings has continued online based on rumor and leaks used by partisans of both sides to indict their enemies.?

Israeli officials blamed Hamas for abducting the Israeli teenagers, though some intelligence officials have now expressed doubt that Hamas was involved. The resulting war has led to the deaths of nearly 1,500 Palestinians and 56 Israeli soldiers.

In April, the Times acknowledged withholding news that a 23-year-old Palestinian journalist had been arrested because of an Israeli court-imposed gag order. At the time, Jerusalem Bureau Chief Jodi Rudoren told Times? Public Editor Margaret Sullivan that the paper is ?indeed, bound by gag orders.?

Sullivan wrote that Rudoren ?said that the situation is analogous to abiding by traffic rules or any other laws of the land, and that two of her predecessors in the bureau chief position affirmed to her this week that the Times has been subject to gag orders in the past.?

Still, some of the paper?s top editors said they didn?t know the Times abided by such restrictions.

Both Dean Baquet, who was then managing editor and has since been promoted to executive editor, and Susan Chira, a former foreign editor and current assistant managing editor, told Sullivan they "were un

Same, although it still disgusts me. The United States has done the same with journalists since the shitfest that was the Vietnam War - especially with the Patriot Act. It severely restricts what the press can report during wartime.

Most major media outlets are censored by governments. The Western world wants to try to make Israel look good and innocent in this conflict, where they are the war criminals.
All around the UK people have been protesting outside BBC offices in major cities to end the pro Israeli stance that they take, there was a rally in my home city today.

It wont change anything though, the PM appoints the two heads of the BBC and tells them what to say and what not to say. So as long as the British Government is Pro-Israel then so will the BBC.

Thankfully we have other news outlets like Channel 4

If Israel just systematically eliminated all Palestinians via some sort of death camps, it would be a final solution to this conflict.

Well they already had an ethnic cleansing at the end of the British mandate.
