Israel typically like to brand itself as "the only liberal democracy in the Middle East", so Israel hereby brands itself as being a nation ideologically closer to its western allies than to its middle eastern neighbors. Allowing the government to go after whistleblowers is totally authoritarian, and ideologically way more similar to nations such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, then to western nations such as Denmark and Sweden. We must protect those who expose the israeli governments criminal conduct in order to enlighten the israeli people.
