Israel's education minister: the thought police chief

At the height of the protests against the judicial overhaul, Yaron Avni, then a counsellor at a school in Hod Hasharon, avidly expressed his opposition to the government on Facebook. He often shared posts written by other activists, journalists and others, adding a sentence or two of his own. It didn't even occur to him that people in the Education Ministry were reading his posts. An "information-collecting report" compiled at the ministry determined that the content he posted was "inciting" against the government and its head. The internal document provided a rare glimpse into a secretive apparatus designed to muzzle and intimidate, as revealed by Haaretz's Or Kashti.
