before reporting this crap from Syria

Assad Junior is a joke.

Even an Israeli journalist can walk there freely. These Syrian are amateurs.

At first sight it is obviosly there is no attack on building which could otherwise easly detected by your reporter. Israel Lied on both Commando attack on the site and bombing the site. Second Obiously it is a military building. Possibly an intermediary storage for Iran to Hizbullah arms traffic. But it is Completely unlikely to be a Nuclear site, if there were any, it is more likely to have in deeper in Central Syria but not in border. I am Sure There is none. Second Syrian Journalist is a Moron as Syria would hit the Jets if it can do, it would be legitimate as warplanes was attacking them. It indicates they have not even common defence missiles against Jets. It is CLEAR that Israel excersised an attack to Iran on this occasion and tried to see if their Jets can return back. You cannot BUILD DETERANCE of ISRAEL by LIES! By the way, What was the route of Jets to attack where they came from? Turkey?

... but instead they report all the crap about Syria not being involved in political murders in Lebanon, and of course, covering the visit in N. Korea and then telling everybody that Syria is a peaceful country. I wonder what Syrians were doing in Korea and what Koreans were doinng in Syria. I imagine that they werenot discussing cooperation on agriculture - which N.K. lacks to the point of famine and Syrians don't really excel at. Anyway, diverting the focal point from Syria with old and torn slogans doesnot help. Syria is a bully, N.K. is a bully and when two bullies talk, nothing good can come out of it.

Man, what a professional analysis which is based on.... what? On what Syria says? On what North Korea says? On what Iran says? On what YOU think ?(that's my last choice). In any case, based on what has been published until today nobody knows for sure what happened, but I'd chose my liars more carefully. If you chose them based on what you WANT to hear, than you're in danger of dying as a moron. Sadly, it seems that this is what you do!

Syria is going to distribute nuclear free samples. Send your address to get your mail free sample.

It is sure that there was an air raid by Israelis. They did not say anything as they did not get anything. All the talk in the begining was made by the liars (as you call them). Then your supporters (amserican) where they are so far. You could not stand to tell what was going on. Anyway, you want to do anything to save your face.

HOW 'BOUT VISITING THE SITE OF THE RESIDENCE OF HANAH SOFER REGARDING THE "MOTORCADE OPERATION" RIGHT HERE IN ISRAEL ? ENQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW HOW SHE IS FAREING GIVEN THAT SHE HAD : A CONCOUSION AMNESIA FRACTURED PELVIS AND, KIDNEY TRAUMA. HER STATED CONDITION WAS "MILDLY INJURED" , THIS IS AN AUTHENTIC "COVERUP" ! YOU WON'T PRINT THIS , SO WHATS THE SOPHISTRY OF THIS ARTICLE ?

"My wife says I glow in the dark & it's keeping her awake."

Israel never claimed anything. It was the foreign press. The only one from the government who admited anything was Bibi, and every word comes out of his mouth is a lie.

I see - when Israeli Druze or Israeli Arab MKs go to Syria, there are screams of "hang them" "throw them in prison" "expel them" etc ad nauseam. When a reporter, Ben-Yishai, goes to Syria, obviously disguised (i.e. not using his Israeli passport or his Israeli name) he is vaunted as some sort of great journalist. In fact, when a journalist hides his profession, he becomes either a spy or a self-deluding moron. Had he been arrested and tried for spying, which is what he was doing as an enemy alien in Syria, many ISraelis and their supporters would be up in arms. So let's decide: do we want Israeli citizens to go to Syria? Or do we only want Jewish Israeli citizens to go to Syria? If it's a religious pilgrimage by Druze elders, the reaction from many right-wingers is "ban them from returning" along with many vulgar curses written on these pages. When a good Jewish Israeli goes to Syria it is seen as a taunt to the stupidity of the Syrians. In fact, let's reiterate - this man did a good spying job, except that he came back with no information apart from "we saw some pits that looked like part of a mine or a quarry".... great investigative journalism.

Bishara and the other Arab MKs are members of the Israel's government . These MKs deliberately went to Syria to show their support for Assad, Nazirallah, Mashal and other sworn enemies of Israel. They are traitors. Ron Ben Yishai, on the other hand, is a journalist and private citizen. He didn't go to cuddle up with Assad and his gang of genocidal thugs.

so as you repeated, if he is a Jewish Israeli disguised as a European, then it's okay. If it's not a Jewish Israeli, then you call for blood. Point made. As for the Druze elders, I don't seem to remember them cuddling anyone when they went to visit their holy places. NB I don't believe anyone in Syria, except his wife, cuddles up with Mr Assad. Perhaps you are expressing your own inner longing.

The Druze that go to Syria are the ones who reside in Golan. In Syria, they are considered Syrian citizens since they lived in the Golan Heights before they were taken over and annexed by Israel. They consider themselves Syrian. Now, if during a war UK annexed Hannover (let's say) from Germany, but the local Germans considered themselves German citizens (at least officially), would UK permit them to visit the enemy state before any peace agreements? Do I need to spell it out for you?

English guy #16: What a stupid comparison to criticise Israel allowing a journalist to go to Syria but not a Druze Israeli politician. This is a good example of bigotry on your part.

English guy. Your posts make no sense but to reinforce a good example of the rising antisemitism in Britain. Well done.

stupid uneducated moron. didn't you know that international journalists even from enemy countries have diplomatic immunity and permission to report in enemy countries. ron ben ishai frequently goes out of the country. he last reported an as an israeli journalist from southern beirut right after the second lebanon war....was he a spy then too? you are rediculous. your stupidity and lack of knowledge is abysmal and staggering.

no matter how many times he bends over for Bashar, no cuddle after. Not even a reach-around. Talk about lack of manners. I am sure they are politer at your mosque. As for the report, this is a partial report - as you would know if you read the whole thing. The whole thing may or may not be "good investigative" journalism. Of course he could just make it all up like the Independent and Guardian coverage of the Middle East. I'm sure Fisk would be happy to give him lessons: "Ron, just use the word massacre over and over...." PS Why do you assume the Syrians don't know Ron is Israeli or a journalist? He looks Israeli and is doing a tour of sensitive areas of Syria, just as he did a tour of sensitive areas of Lebanon after the war. The Syrian Mukhabarat maybe many things but stupid isn't one of them. PPS there is no "we", you are english, you don't get to say what happens in Israel.

it seems the Knesset member was born in Israel. However, he is a member of Balad, the party to which Bishara belonged. and you surely what happened to him? he is now working in an enemy state.

Go get 'em guys. This American backs you!

He's an idiot. He'll say anything as long as it leads to the conclusion that Israel sucks. I can only hope he changes his tune once more London busses are blown to bits in the name of Allah. Maybe then he'll realize who wants peace and who wants more war.
