1. Finally someone tell it like it is
DaviD ,   US   (05.11.12)
I read your paper most of the time. I also read the paper that is more RIGHT.....this article show that you all no longer tell the news but creat or make the new base on your opinion. This writer is very correct. The right and the left are bad for the country. The Middel is busy working and can't have time to react.
2. ???
reader ,   Jerusalem   (05.11.12)
Your comparison is sadly illogical
3. a=b=c; media= meretz mouthbox = supreme court

4. Support only patriotic media and create Israeli Fox News.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.11.12)
We can complain about the dishonesty and hypocrisy of Israel's leftist media forever. Indeed, we have been. However, unless we take action, it will accomplish nothing. We need a highly organized campaign to do two things: 1) Subscribe to and advertise only with patriotic media. 2) Create an Israeli version of America's patriotic Fox News.

6. Segal does it again
Baruch Norman ,   Bat Yam   (05.11.12)
Vicious prejudice against the Left, old fashioned and out of date bearing in mind there isn't a Left in Israel, but a branch of thuggish bullying fascism is alive and well within the Right. His basic premise is also inaccurate. We the electorate don't care about our political class anymore because it is neither accountable to us, the voters who voted for them, nor is it democratic. We the electorate have basically been ignored this week and the reason why Bibi's dirty little Jewish political trick worked, and the protests against it were muted, was because the electorate recognised the trick for what it was and know that our democracy is a sham.
7. Segal is a journalist with an agenda
PaulZion ,   Israel   (05.11.12)
Always right wing settlerist. Always crying about ho the "Leftist" media discriminates in its criticism against the right. No-one can blameSegal of impartiality, that's for sure.

Fox news is WORST then the rest of them. They are a FOX in sheep's clothes. Better yet - a snake in FOX clothing. Besides, what happened to Arutz Sheva?

you moan and groan about Segal you hypocrit, at least he is a *J-E-W* my friend unlike that certain unmentionable Hungarian immigrant employed by Ynet and Channel 2 infecting the minds of millions on a daily basis! But, predictably, as a left wing radical anti.-Israel enemy, you have no problem with that. Hypocrit and un-Jewish. You are both, yep. Congratulations to Segal! If anything he is far tooooo mild and wimpish for my taste and hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens.
10. Segal's perception of political space
Michael ,   Haifa   (05.12.12)
Not only is Segal's personal history indicative of his inability to distinguish between right and wrong (his membership and conviction of being in a terrorist group) but neither does he understand the difference between right and left. Kadima is not a "leftist" party...merely a black hole that swallows up any ideas at all. So to say that Mofaz at one time moved to the Left is ridiculous. He merely shifts back and forth from one empty opportunistic locus to another, whenever he perceives it benefits him.

I am not anti Israel and certainly not anti Jewish - you should know that, Asshole, if you are born of a Jewish mother, you are Jewish - or do you reject that part of the Halacha because it doesn't suit you? Typical. Besides which, I attend services regularly. I have dedicated my life to the building of Israel, done my full quota of military and reserve service in a battle unit - and probably guarded you assholes on some stupid hill in the West Bank one time, because you claim it "belongs" to us because you say Moses once "ate" there. So, eat your words. I AM anti-fascist - and you are that. Go join the Brown Shirts and try intimidate someone else. But remember this: Your twisted ideology has emptied your Judaism of all the humanitarian values that make me proud to be Jewish and a light unto nations. I suggest you go back and read the teachings of that great Jewish scholar and Rabbi, Hillel...and then feel rightly ashamed with yourself.
12. #6 Lesson on Democracy
Paltalk Doctor ,   Pomona USA   (05.12.12)
Democracy is the will of the people, not the will of the Left.
13. #8. What do you have against Fox News?
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.12.12)
#8 Israeli 2. What do you have against Fox News? It is one of the very few American media outlets which is not in Obama's hip pocket. Most Americans disagree with you because Fox News is the most watched new program in the U.S.A. It is also highly patriotic. Israel needs an equivalent of Fox News.
14. So Rabin was as big a sleaze bag as Mofaz
Ilan   (05.13.12)
Tell us something we didn't know.
