1. I DID NOT REALIZE
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (01.12.11)
Katsav worked for shin bet...
2. HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! Good job YNET!!!!
Israeli 2   (01.12.11)
3. Really?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.12.11)
All Al Jazeera correspondents have decided to shun the event? I truly hope all the other attendees understand how lucky they are. Al Jazeera is yellow journalism at its lowest.
5. Just the bra, next time panties too please
Veg   (01.12.11)
remember in Iran they won't even allow the female Muslim to buy cucumbers. Now think what if its not a cucumber but a cucumber bomb.
6. Oh, the Angst!
Gabi   (01.12.11)
It must have been insulting for the Al-Jazeera correspondents with man boobs as well.
7. Were the men asked to remove their underpants?
Sarah B. ,   U.S.A / Israel   (01.12.11)
8. al jazeera and turkish unhappiness
alexi   (01.12.11)
al jazeera and turkish reps were upset with shin bet screening procedures. They don't like it, they can lump it. I am not peres or ben eliezer who rushes to kiss erdogan's ass. He can lump it as far as I am concerned.Either comply with shin bet demands or get the hell out. barsieres, underwear, shoes everything has to be checked as moslem terror knows no limits.
9. Well Done!!
Natey ,   USA   (01.12.11)
A TV reporter in Pakistan had a bomb secreted in his person and sacrificed himself to blow up a political leader.
10. Al-Jazeera should stop covering monkey events
(01.12.11)
11. Why are they complaining
Danny   (01.12.11)
they can simply fabricate the news from the comfort of their home rather than make a special trip
12. No 1
Mike ,   usa   (01.12.11)
Bravo #1 that just made my night!
13. 3 - She must be pretty ;) ,...
split ,   US   (01.12.11)
When was the last time someone ask you to remove something ? ,...
14. They still don't understand
Marcella   (01.12.11)
That it's because of people among THEM with Anger Management Issues that millions of Americans now have to go through degrading procedures of electronic stripping and pat downs at their airports. And if there were no such people with Anger Management Issues, there would be no need for such strict security in Israel.
15. #4
SmartSam ,   Cincinnati, USA   (01.12.11)
Sorry, But that's not acceptable thinking nor speaking. Advocating violence because you don't agree with someone is not acceptable/ I dislike Al-Jazeera as well, but I'll never think nor speak that way, Jake. Rethink it, please.
16. I am so glad YNET has an article on brassieres since
Rivkah   (01.12.11)
I don't wear one because the dye in the brassieres caused pre-cancer skin spots that I am trying to clear up with various medicines. Women need to know how toxic bras can be. Not only is the dye in some of them carcinogenic apparently, but bras cut off the lypmphatic ciruculatory system where the bra is tight since the lymphatic system is near the surface of the skin. That hinders the body in removing toxins via the lymphatic circulatory system, another factor in breast cancer and the accumulation of toxins in the breasts from too tight bras. Wear a shirt with a vest over it so it is not apparent a bra is not being worn.
17. Ha
Mike ,   Nigeria   (01.12.11)
TSA comes to mind. lol
18. #1 you're the best! (I hope she was pretty...)
Soviet Jew ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.12.11)
19. Aw. Only a week ago our security methods were declared by
Bat Zion ,   Central Israel   (01.12.11)
US Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano "unsuitable for US". Now they're not good enough for Al-Jazeera either. Note to Shin Bet: get yourself one of those new body-scanning machines.
20. they brought it on themselves
Julie ,   Israel   (01.12.11)
good job Shin Bet We probably avoided more news that the latestJjew hating, Israel basher blew herself up via her bra
21. I dont like al Jazeera but...
Susan ,   Kfar Saba   (01.12.11)
this is really too much. I have never heard of a journalist with a press card blowing him or herself up.
22. bra
divejoy ,   usa floida   (01.12.11)
Better safe than sorry!
23. Unbelievable fright!
Westbanker ,   Nablus   (01.12.11)
Am wondering if they ask Abbas to get off his underwear when meeting Netanyahu!!!
24. What about reverse situation
P ,   Haifa   (01.12.11)
If the situation had been reversed and this was a Jewish reporter, what would be the reaction? Don't we see what we are becoming?
25. Wondering if Israeli reporters
R ,   Israel   (01.12.11)
Wondering if Israeli reporters are allowed into events of this sort in Moslem countries. Israel is a democracy and allows reporters in from all over. We cannot be expected to abandon security because it offends someone. The underwire probably set off the secruity guard's wand.
26. you dumb dumbs, the Shin Beit who order
ghostq   (01.12.11)
the al jazeera to take off her bra were women officers trust me I checked, not only men serve there, what I wouldn't do just to watch them in action. I could have givin them helping hand. no wait... helping hands I got 2 of them and they can provide best support.
27. The Al Jazeera limerick...
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (01.12.11)
The gal working for Al Jazeera Was stopped by Shabak out of fear-a She refused his demands To show him her cans Leaving him nothing to leer a......t
28. Security checks
Fredrik T ,   Sweden   (01.12.11)
Well, thanks to the muslims the whole western community has to be bodyscanned everytime we sant to board a flight, can't really see why they should whine that much.
29. In America they have machines that can see under clothes
Zev ,   Israel   (01.12.11)
Do Al-Jazeera ladies protest that also. Israel should develop a portable machine that can do that.
30. Underwire Bras...
El-Nakam ,   TA, Israel   (01.12.11)
Have wires in them! Gee, what else can wires be used for???
