Who said anyone is banning journalists? The area is locked down, journalists don't have a right to walk past soldiers who are hunting down terrorists while airstrikes are taking place. This is not a complex issue. Israel might be one of the most open societies in the world. Do you think for a second a so called pro Israel news team would survive a second in the Gaza strip even during the best of times? In fact I doubt a Jew can walk in the majority of middle eastern cities without having the hide the fact they are Jewish. And now we are debating why Israel would ban the media (let alone anyone else period)?
Religiously, Judaism has no afterlife. Your life here is all you get. There is some orthodox though that believe at some point the dead will rise again, but they are in the vast minority and are not in the military (typically). On the other hand, the world of Islam is based on the afterlife.

Journalists are being denied entry into the Gaza Strip. That's the problem. What the hell a Jew walking down the street in a middle eastern city has to do with it is beyond me.
Do you have a problem with religions that have (or are "based on" to use your term) some soft of afterlife?
