Does it condemn discussion of Hamas or does it condemn glorification of Hamas? There's definitely a difference. I would find it hard to believe there's an explicit law that prevents people discussing the massacres of babies.
From the article:
Emphasis mine. He's not in trouble for discussing Hamas, he's in trouble for glorifying the massacre. Not really the same thing as visiting a website.
But anyway, this is a bit of a distraction as we're talking about Israeli policy, not the UK's. I was just clarifying that the parent user made a statement as if it were a law, but it's not, and the link to the article doesn't mention anything about it being a crime to visit a Hamas website. From what I understand from the article the planning is about fining media outlets that I assume won't toe the party line, not individual people for visiting websites. Yes, I agree, it's not a stretch to assume this could be a thing in the future, but based on the linked article it doesn't seem to be the case right now.
