1. No wonder journalist are being viewed
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.30.12)
as less trustworthy as your average used car salesmen. He has the integrity of a rutting rat.
2. #1
Joe Sombrero ,   Usa   (05.30.12)
Please Don't insult Rats
3. Spy
Joe Sombrero ,   USA   (05.30.12)
He destroyed his Computer? Refused to return all documents to me this is no innocent affair not to harm state it is spying for a Foreign Power and want to venture a guess who?
4. all documents passed over to Brits who promptly passed it ov

to arabs and possiby Iranians.
5. Unauthorized possession?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.30.12)
Treason is the appropriate charge. And hanging is the appropriate sentence. At a minimum, permanent exile. There is no place in Israel for the likes of Uri Blau, may his name be cursed. And the rabbinate should issue a herem. Uri Blau is no Jew.
6. good to be a Leftist
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (05.30.12)
If Blau was a Zionist he would be (justifiably) charged with espionage, bribery, and incitement to rebellion in the army. But because he is a Leftist, he will end up with 2 months public service and a pay raise.
7. I just hope he gets more than a slap on the wrist like Kam
zionist forever   (05.30.12)
A good lawyer might be able to find all kinds of legal loopholes to avoid punishment but take away the legal loopholes he is still a traitor probably more so than Kam. Kam might have been an idealist and she stole the documents but she didn't know how to use them so she gave them to Blau who knew what they were, how to use them to maximum effect and he did but he hid behind the idea of free press. Why did the state pay for him to buy a new computer because his old one was destroyed trying to retrieve STOLEN information? What right did he have to originally only return some of the documents, if somebody robs a bank they have to return all the money if they are caught. Any new information they get from him should have its sources checked before they destroy it just to check we know we have got everything. The way the state deals with this whole thing seems to be very much on Blau's terms and he seems to have no regrets about using stolen documents to advance his career. He should be arrested and locked up for a very long time and the editors of Haaretz should also be punished because Blau's story would have never been printed unless the editor was happy with it. ALMOST makes you feel sorry for the other traitor Kam Maybe we can send them to Hamastan or Syria and there somebody will hand out the justice that we will not give in Israel.
8. joke of the week
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (05.30.12)
Why is it that these two characters are not given harsher sentences, something like Pollard, for spy activity? Pollard is right handed, these two are lefties! Ha ha ha!
9. "Blau, a journalist with Haaretz" Who Else
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (05.30.12)
10. A rat, just like most of the leftist journalist..
Beary White ,   Norway   (05.30.12)
..we have a bunch in norway too, but here the norwegian state media/television states...: according to secret information NRK has received.... The same words are used by the main leftist news-papers...ie; Rats are the same everywhere..we can smell the words...?
11. All monetary costs to Israel must be recovered from HAARETZ
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (05.30.12)
HAARETZ is directly responsible for Blau's illegal conduct, since it occurred in the course of his employment. This is no different than the financial repsponsibility of the Rupert Murdoch newspapers for its illegal wiretapping scandal in the UK. The State should determine all the direct and indirect financial costs of the compromised intel, including precutionary measures that had to be taken to protect the country, and assess them to HAARETZ and its parent company, including the costs associated with Blau failing to return all the stolen documents. HAARETZ financial responsibility also stems from the fact that it rewarded Anat Kam for her theft by providing her with employment as a journalist, which was her motive. No nation with Freedom of the Press tolerates this kind of activity.
12. throw that enemy of the people in the slammer!
nadav ,   tlv   (05.30.12)
13. # 2 LOL right..Rats have more class.
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.31.12)
14. # 8 Larry your right!
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.31.12)
Release Pollard and let these two do his time.
15. # 11 Didn't Murdock close the paper?
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.31.12)
I doubt Haaretz will do the same even though, at times, I think, at times, Haaretz is more communistic than democratic.
16. Why is it that all the hardliners
rara ,   somehwere   (06.14.12)
are from the United States? Look at these Americans calling for Israeli heads.
