61. Oh..Booo Hoooo
M. Duvduvani ,   Yokneam, Israel   (01.12.11)
Oh Cry Baby! You are the enemy! So don't be surprised when treated like one. You are a Palestinian living in the capital of Israel. Your people have actively done everything you can in order to destroy Israel. Your people sneak onto airplanes and fly them into sky-scrapers, strap bombs to your bodies destined for pizza shops, and hide bombs in your shoes and underwear! Yet you are surprised that you are searched up and down for a weapon when meeting with the Prime Minister of Israel? If I was Prime Minister, I'd want you searched exactly the same way.
62. So I wonder
Dan ,   USA   (01.12.11)
How does she think an Israeli reporter would be treated in an Arab country. They wouldn't ask to remove a bra, they would just remove a head. Face it, Arabs have failed to act against terror. Al-Jazeera has condoned terror. So live with it. Arabs are suspect until they choose to join civilized society.
63. What if she arrived in a bikini in Saudi Arabia?
Peter ,   USA   (01.12.11)
If she arrived in Israel in a bikini she would certainly be welcome. In Saudi Arabia, probably not so much....
64. to 21
handala ,   jerusalem,palestine   (01.12.11)
if you were with your sister or mother or daughter going to the mall, and the security tells your sister or mother or daughter take off ur bra you will accept that? i doubt it, or because shes arab and she works for aljazeera then they have the right to ask her to take off her bra?!! the security have no ethics same as the israeli government.
65. She should fly on American airplanes
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.12.11)
Then she'll learn what a pat down really is, they're doing it to 80 year old Grandmothers Undergo x-ray examination for concealed items, refuse and undergo a very intrusive patdown, refuse that & wind up getting arrested Concerning her "Bra", there are concerns that women will have explosives inserted instead of silicone "Underwear bomber", does that ring a bell ? or maybe a stick of plasique instead of a Tampon
66. to 51
handala ,   jerusalem,palestine   (01.12.11)
al jazeera cant be anti-Semitic, Arabs cant be anti-Semitic, for god sake we are Semitic!!!! how can we be anti-Semitic!!! we cant be anti ourselves!! go learn
67. Leave your hat on....
Edu ,   K Yam   (01.12.11)
with Joe Cocker music? Don't worry be happy, it's just the protocol.
68. simple solution...
courtney ,   usa   (01.12.11)
dont go then, nobody forced you to
69. #54 Why take chances ?
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.12.11)
Go to any airport, you'll undergo the same type of check if you want to board an airplane She wanted to interview the PM, maybe the enemy considered her expendable and had implants inserted that contained plastique explosive After all, she merely a female, lots more where she came from
70. #64 handala, you have the locales confused
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.12.11)
She was going to see the PM, not shop in a mall Now, let's just say she was going to board an airplane, she would have to undergo a very thorough screening before she would be able to board Surely, you've heard of the Underwear Bomber, if you haven't , then you're the last person on earth that hasn't, he wanted to blow up a plane full of passengers while it was in the air I guess you know about "Homicide Bombers", that's what they do, load themselves with explosives and kill everyone that they can Sorry, no taking chances, you guys have proven many a time that you can't be trusted & that includes the females who have also carried the bombs
71. I do understand that
Borchert   (01.12.11)
security is an important issue in Israel, but what has looking under her bra got to do with security? Nothing, I guess. This is arbitrary humiliation by honourless and uptight security guards; all supported by Israel's legislation. The decent majority in Israel should take care not to lose their country, it happens faster than you think.
72. #71 Borchert--Think "TSA" in USA
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.12.11)
I'll explain it again, though I've already done so a few times Breast implants, made of explosive instead of Silicone, Tampons ditto Underwear bomber, just like in 2009 Surely you've read about these, if not, you should These very same inspections are now being carried in almost any airport throughout the world Uptight, hell no!! - Just being damned careful that some homicidal maniacs, which you seem to approve of, don't happen to get by to carry out a mission of death & destruction
73. I was there, and almost all of you are wrong (and ignorant)
Jon ,   Israel   (01.13.11)
I was standing in line right in front of Najwan. I have also known her for years. I am Jewish, and Israeli, and consider her to be a colleague. This was an annual event, hosted by the government, inviting the foreign press. Every single person there has a government-issued press card, and has already undergone extensive security checks just to get it. To selectively degrade some journalists based on racial-profiling is beyond silly ... it's embarrassing for this country. And the icing on the cake -- Netanyahu has the audacity (or the ignorance) at the event to lecture the foreign press about why its not covering the prettier side of Israel, and why it's not painting a nicer picture of the state of affairs here. The foreign press is in Israel to cover one story and one story only. And the moment the government realizes what that story is, and starts behaving in a manner worthy of positive coverage, it won't get any. Until then, it can strip-search and degrade as many of its guests as it wants ... after all, it's image can't really get much worse.
74. Remove Bra....
Naomi K. Syken ,   Wilmington, DE. USA   (01.13.11)
Airport screening in the US will beep and then you must remove your underwire bras along with any other article of clothing that has metal and makes the machine beep. I have 2 total knee replacements that beep and the x-ray scanner shows what they are, that doesn't matter. I am put in a glass box next to the TSA and gone over with a fine tooth comb and questioned extensively about everything. Also EVERY single thing is taken out of whatever I am carrying with me and gone over meticulously including medicines. ANY one else traveling with me is subjected to the same procedure. So you know what in the name of security suck it up, because if it wasn't for the Arab Terrorists this would not be going on ANYWHERE in the world and life would be good!
75. @Jon 73, she is an enemy
Trumpeldor ,   eurabia   (01.16.11)
You know her ? Good for you but my stance remains the same .
