1. Murdoch represents me much more than selfhating Jewish press
Tahl   (11.21.12)
Labeling him an antisemite for sticking up for Israel? Only loony, far-left, self-hating Iiberal Jews can come up with such a crazy irony.
2. Murdoch right. Left press selfhatng Jews
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (11.21.12)
3. Murdoch was right
Yitzi ,   Bet Shemesh   (11.21.12)
His media is more accurate about Israel than the left wing dominated Jewish media.
4. I'm an Israeli Jew and agree with Murdoch
Avinoam Katz ,   Modiin, Israel   (11.21.12)
It's not only his opinion, it's a fact. Can anyone seriously deny that the NYT, Haaretz and many other Jewish owned newspapers are not biased against Israel? Roger Cohen, Thomas Friedman, Amira Hass, Gideon Levy - the list is too long to fit into the 'Talkback' limit, - are all staunchly anti-Israel? They are the real anti-Semites hiding behind the more PC term 'anti-Zionists'.
5. Why condemn him?
Daniel ,   Beer Sheva   (11.21.12)
He is right. 78% of US jews voted obama. The fact tha we have a muslimbrotherhood government in egypt is his and one of his jewish croonies' falt. The leftwing jew john ayers instigated the brotherhood violence, other leftwing jews in the press fanned the muslim flames of hatred!
6. The guardian dribble confirms Murdoch is correct...
Daniel ,   Beer Sheva   (11.21.12)
if one of the most antisemtice selfrightious papers attacks Murdoch, he apparently does something positive. Antsisemties like the guardian shoot at everything conceived as not antisemtic! Now it is the demonizing bbc's turn
7. Self-hating Jewish media are not only against Israel
Dov   (11.21.12)
but against religious Jews especially ultra-orthodox.
8. Murdoch includes media like YNet, Haaretz in his complaint
Dov   (11.21.12)
Murdoch is 100% right
9. I support Murdoch
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (11.21.12)
The Times is the best daily paper in the UK, EU and possibly the world. I thank Murdoch for rescuing this great paper. My prize for the worst paper would be divided between Haaretz, Guardian and Independent. The NY Times, Jewish owned, is consistently hostile and unrealistic in its Israel coverage.
10. Anti-Semite???
Akiva ,   NYC   (11.21.12)
Playing the anti-Semite card against Murdoch? Only the loony Left could do such a thing.
11. Mr. Murdoch is correct. We are our own
jason white ,   afula, israel   (11.21.12)
worst enemies. Remember axelrod and emmanuel putting the jihadist in the Oval office. weinstein and others raising millions for b.o.'s election and reelection. mayor bloomberg supporting the mosque at ground zero. Of course everything we do is wrong in the eyes of thomas friedman, except if we surrendered to the arabs. Not all Jews are Jews, some are "jews". Little people that would sell out Israel and the rest of the Jews just to be politically correct. Their words are not the words of the arab enemies, but the meaning behind them is the same.
12. Left wing Jewish press creating divide
LeftistMindControl ,   Jerusalem Israel   (11.21.12)
THe leftwing Jewish press in America is creating a serious divide in the American Jewish community . There needs to be a strong counterpart Jewish press, thankfully the influential Wall Street Journal is one, Israeli left wing media thakfully no longer relevant with most of the nation, it took awhile to educate the people here to differenciate between left wing brainwashing and real democratic reporting and it has finally suceeded. Just the electronic TV and Radio still the last holdouts of complete leftwing mind controll attemps but that to will dissapear in time,
13. The truth hurts...
NYC Girl   (11.21.12)
14. reply to u.s.a media:
J.Gedalov ,   Israel   (11.21.12)
Hamas will never win nothing
15. he shouldnt apologize he is 100% correct
jack bauer   (11.21.12)
the pretend jews are consistently undermining and outright lying about Israel and the enemy that surrounds us.... rupert is brave to say it, and cowardly when he bends to them afterwards.... they are a cancer on the world.... hardly ever can they be unbiased and simply report facts
16. murdoch was 100% right
ej ,   tlv   (11.21.12)
look at some of the anti-israel and pro arab content in Jewish news outlets- Forward, Jewish Week, and content by J-street and Peter Beinart. they are not helping israel's cause!
17.  WELL MURDOCH AINT WRONG
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (11.21.12)
Jews are their own worst enemies.
18. american jews are a shame!!! he is 10000% right
mira ,   israel   (11.21.12)
lost their faith and sense.
19. I'm sure many in Israel would wish a FOX news in Hebrew
m   (11.21.12)
The only news chanel to stand by Israel over and over. Is it a wonder that he can't understand the Jewish media being so anti-semitic?
20. Murdoch BS again! Skynews is a good example
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (11.21.12)
Many have forgotten that when FOXNews reported "Muslim riots in Paris" it took a 30 second phone call from the head of Kingdom Holdings, Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal to change the headline to "poverty riots in Paris" The Prince even has the gall to brag about it! Just Google Kingdom Holdings and have a good look at what it has shares in by make sure you don't miss News Corporation!
21. Yeah, the Guardian! Antisemtic to the core!
Dee Bee ,   Israel   (11.21.12)
The Brits are bad enough by the Guardian is worse than the BBC and SKYNews together!
22. There no better friend to Israel than Rupert Murdoch...
Carlos Murphy ,   Broken Hill Australi   (11.22.12)
The Guardian would have to be the nastiest anti-Israeli news paper.It is blatantly anti-Semitic and they detest Israel.Their anti-Semetic writers and posters would give the most Radical Islamic web sites a run for their money.The Guardian is an anti-Semitic toxic cess pool.
23. The people who call him antisemite.....
Shalom ,   U.S.A.   (11.22.12)
are the worst enemies of the jewish people.
24. In a dream world
Zivron   (11.22.12)
Many outside israel are not in the line of fire so they can dream of Utopias or NearUtopias. Maybe one day but not yet.Only Thus the Irgun motto is not the whole survival strategy but it is an essential element for Jewish Survival .The Arabs have lost homes true but they still live so they have had it much much easier than the Jews.
25. God bless Murdoch
Bob ,   US   (11.22.12)
He speaks the truth. He is a great friend to Israel and the Jewish people. The NY Times on the other hand...
26. I strongly disagree with him but totaley understand
Mark   (11.22.12)
his confusion. Fox is his personal shofar and he just don't understand media that doesn't operate that way.
27. He is not an anti-Semite
withheld ,   Copenhagen, Denmark   (11.22.12)
Being right in his criticism does not make this great lover of the Jewish people, wrong! I agree with him 100%
28. The Guardian
Danny ,   London England   (11.22.12)
The Guardian is the English counterpart of Haaretz -- small circulation and disproportionate sinister influence.
29. The power of the self-hating Jews is absolute
Tom W ,   USA (E. Eu.)   (11.23.12)
Remember Glenn Beck, a pro-Israeli Christian who went to Israel in support of its people? In his show he unmasked the sinister network of the Soros group with facts and data. The U.S. Court Jews immediately labeled him as "antisemite" and have him removed from the TV screen. Murdoch is too big to be eaten alive but they are trying... At the same time the WaPo, N.Y.Times and the countless Jewish controlled blogs regurgitate and gushing forth the worst vile slander against Israel. The Obama Jews at works...
30. Murdoch
REK ,   USA   (11.24.12)
May all "anti-Semites" be like Rupert Murdoch. He can say anything he wants and get a pass from me. He's a proven friend of Israel and the Jewish people. The left can stick it.
