The Israeli Military Censor ((ヘブライ語:הצנזורה הצבאית)) is a unit in the IDF Directorate of Military Intelligence which watches over the publication of information regarding the military network, and generally, the security of Israel. The Military Censor, as part of its duty, has authority to suppress information it deems compromising from being made public in the media. In practice however, the ability of the censor to suppress publication of news stories in the Israeli media is rather limited as Israeli news outlets often circumvent the censor by reporting stories "as quoted from foreign news sources", which, since they were originally published outside of Israel, are not subject to the restrictions of the Israeli military censor. ==The Censorship Agreement== In 1966, the Censorship Agreement was signed between media representatives and the IDF. The media agreed to abide by the orders of the Military Censor, while the IDF agreed not to misuse its role. Three main points of the arrangement are: *The purpose of the censorship is to prevent the publication of security information which could benefit the enemy or harm the State. *There will be no censorship on political issues, on expressions of opinion or assessments, unless they hint on classified information. *The Military Censor will inform the media which issues demand its approval. The list is subject to change, but always includes two overarching issues: the security of the State, and the immigration of Jews from nations hostile to Israel.〔Arye Wahal, et al., ("Censorship types: the Censorship Agreement ), The Center for Educational Technology, 1996 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Israeli Military Censor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
