1. Assassins have pretended to be journalists before.
Judo ,   Canada   (01.12.11)
Assassins have pretended to be journalists in the past so the PM's security is right to be careful. For just one well known example, the assassination of Ahmad Shah Massoud, the Afghan military leader who played a leading role in driving the Soviet army out of Afghanistan. On September 9, 2001, two days before the September 11 attacks in the United States, Massoud was assassinated by two Arab al-Qaeda suicide bombers posing as Belgium journalists with a bomb hidden in a video camera.
2. Enemy?
zznhl   (01.12.11)
You are an enemy! The world press is normally aggressively negative in its reporting of anything Israeli, but when it comes to the Arab press you can add the word virulent to the description. Whos to say that, because of your religious beliefs that you have not decided to take matters into your own hands and to hide explosives next to your skin with the attention of harming someone? It has been done before. Just because you are a Women does not make you less of a threat.
3. oh dear, what a shame, never mind
John ,   Wellington NZ   (01.12.11)
she wasn't forced in any way. In the end she didn't agree and went home - her choice, so stop whinging
4. bikini is good idea, in fact every female
ghostq   (01.12.11)
reporter under the age of 40 should do her jobe in bikini, I insist. oh the brazilian kind.
5. We look like the old Soviet Union :(
Yossef   (01.12.11)
6. Crybaby cry some more?
Omri ,   Israel   (01.12.11)
7. Terrible that we have to do that nowadays.
robin ,   israel   (01.12.11)
I live in Northern Israel. In order for me to vist family in America, I have to be 4 hours ahead of time at the airport. My house is a 3-hour drive to the airport, and that's before a 14-hour flight. It's worse coming back. When I was in America I brought my father a birthday present for his 80th birthday, a picture I painted and enclosed in a wooden carrying case. It was checked so thoroughly I almost missed my change of planes. Terrible that so many bombings make us live like this. Someone could have put a bomb in her equipment when she checked in her bags in without her knowledge. They could have slipped something into her carry-on bag, stuck something in her ear, anything. Anything is possible, but still my sympathy goes to her.
8. Security Checks to see a Primeminsiter
Jude ,   London, England   (01.12.11)
I think this is what i would expect in terms of a proper security check - this is not like going shopping to a mall or visiting a museum.. or even going through airport security which is extremely throughough. In this context the level of risk is severe. I think the check was not selective it was necessary.
9. no one cares
Golan ,   modinn   (01.12.11)
10. She was treated perfectly well...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.12.11)
And yes, she is an enemy of Israel...
11. So It's Shame Bet not Shin Bet !
Salma ,   Palestine   (01.12.11)
Najwan, take care of yourself in order to take care of your coming baby, I sure hope that everything will be OK : )
12. No one has any faith & trust in Arabs these days?
The Celt   (01.12.11)
How could this be?
13. you are an enemy
JL   (01.12.11)
14. Security Check
Bruria   (01.12.11)
She was going in to the PM--if she was flying in the US it would be done in public. We all hate security--if you don't want to be checked the alternative is to stay home. When the bombs and murders stop, it won't be necessary. As an aside, I doubt she would be aloud to make this complaint (in a public paper) if it had happened in an arab country...just saying
15. WOW! Now I know why they ask to remove
Israeli 2   (01.12.11)
her bra! Ha! Ha! Ha! Not bad!! These Israelis are something else!
16. AL JAZEERA IS THE ENEMY....
Ben ,   Leeds, UK   (01.12.11)
... of the Jewish people and is a terrorist & Islomaofascist mouthpiece.. not one of these scum should be allowed to set foot in the hold land!
17. WOW
Gg ,   rishon   (01.12.11)
I wanna work for the shabak. How and where can I apply ? (i am very good at removing bra's)
18. For Israeli security, lets make them feel safe!
Jew ,   In a normal land   (01.12.11)
Perhaps all Israelis should remain naked while outside Israel for their own pretection. That way they will feel safe!
19. not enemy. but israeli system
ale ,   it   (01.12.11)
dear Najwan Simri Diab israel is not a normal country. it's special one!!!! it's a "democracy only for jewish", a particular kind of democracy. in this country if you are not jewish ( so u are simply goim or arabs ) you aren't in democracy, or democracy is not for you. alls goims (o arabs) entering in israel must know that israel is democratic only with jews.......
20. Come on, don`t be so shy...
Sabine Mallory ,   Madagascar   (01.12.11)
21. Remove her bra
ezer   (01.12.11)
If she had nothing to hide, why not remove the bra?
22. how cheap zionists can be !!
(01.12.11)
23. she IS the enemy-why is she surprised
(01.12.11)
24. Al-Jazeera
Eallan ,   Israel   (01.12.11)
If an Israeli went to Saudia surely her head not just her bra would be removed.
25. She should travel to the US
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (01.12.11)
Cry me a river. In the US, anyone who wants to board an airplane (especially attractive women) is body-searched by the TSA in a way that has been called close to rape. She should blame the culture that spawns the terrorists.
26. Such security demands are not unusual
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (01.12.11)
This reporter would be subjected to the same inspection if she tried to interview Obama, Clinton, Cameron, Assad, Ghaddafi, Nasrallah, or Ahmadinejad. Cry me a river now.
27. search
david snider ,   new jersey usa   (01.12.11)
Stop your crying and go home....
28. Not dif. from Airport sec
Eric ,   Sweden   (01.12.11)
...So? there is not much difference from normal EU and US security at Airports! Naked scanning, undressing, x-ray, baggage insp., intrusive body inspections...
29. She is acting like a spoiled child
Israeli   (01.12.11)
That is what security does. It is not pleasant. I have been searched too. I did not like it but understand it is for security. The Arab obsession with pride and humliation is insane.
30. Better safe than sorry, Dear, and your brothers
Dean ,   USA   (01.12.11)
and sisters are the reason for the security needs.
