The naked truth is always better than the best dressed lie.

Paul   (12.05.12)
5. salma
David ,   Haifa   (12.05.12)
The "State of Palestine" is a lie. Get ready to pay your entire electric bill. Your "people" need to get power, water and other vitals frm your real home in Jordan.
6. Please tell Salma
Laurence ,   Israel   (12.05.12)
What is the lie?

Realist ,   Israel   (12.05.12)
8. To #1 Salma
Freddy ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.05.12)
You did not read carefully. His point is that Salma's best dressed lies do indeed succeed in disguising the naked truth.
9. The BBC and the Guardian are at the forefront
Jarred Stone ,   London UK   (12.05.12)
The BBC and the Guardian are at the forefront of this extreme bias against Israel.At this very moment the Guardian has numerous anti-Israel articles,with some of the nastiest anti-Semitic and anti Israel posters.The Guardian and the BBC have reporters based in Israel posting absolute rubbish about Israel.And yet the Israeli Government hasn't yanked their chain.Israel needs to wake up,before it is too late.Use all our resources to fight back.We have friends all around the world make use of them.Good Luck.....
10. Time to do soething.
Jarred Stone ,   London UK   (12.05.12)
The Guardian uses Jews and Israeli writers to smear Israel.They are unrelenting in their anti-Israel propaganda,they host Hamas and radical Muslims to write for them.They allow posters to flaunt their own rues.They delete and ban any post or poster that is pro-Israel.You will need a very strong stomach to read their racist anti-Israeli articles.
11. The terrorists have become the good guys
Jarred Stone ,   London UK   (12.05.12)
These murderous terrorists have become the good guys and the Israeli's have become the bad guys.Not responding to this avalanche of media anti-Israeli bias is not an option.I feel very strongly about this and I'm sure there others Jews Israeli's and non Jewish supporters too feel very strongly about this.There is a solution USE IT.............
12. Why we are losing the battle
BB NO ,   Jerusalem   (12.05.12)
The problem isn't the lies of the press but the colonialist policy of israel
13. hey Salmon
Marcelo ,   Berlin / TLV   (12.05.12)
define please the borders of the "state of palestine" you are from....I see Jordan Egypt and Israel...where is it? on the so-called 67 Borders (aka 49)? if so, what is the name of the country you find next to it to the east?....
14. more explanations ?
bill ,   canada   (12.05.12)
no one is listening to israeli explanations
15. Salma's incomplete truth
One of a kind ,   USA   (12.05.12)
What about a "naked lie?" That is the BBC's fault. Understood?
16. Teacher and pupil.
michael Pielet ,   Israel   (12.05.12)
The BBC is taught by the israeli press.
17. Foreign press beats IDF
Lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (12.05.12)
The BBC has now been shown to be far from the standard and quality that was exemplified during WW2 and the Cold War. Recent issues with its reporting of the paedophile cases and misreporting of several other issues on its flagship program 'Newsnight' have clearly indicated that it has lost almost all of its past well deserved neutrality and objectivity when reporting the world. Its gross mismanagement of its own finances has become an embarrassing joke. Jeremy Bowen, who is/was the chief foreign editor spokesman had to be side lined for a while because of his gross bias against Israel, only now returning under sufferance. A final point; until Israel initiates a 24/7 English TV news channel, similar to Aljazeera they will not be able to combat the perennial world press bias.
18. Marketing
Daniel ,   Netherlands   (12.05.12)
Is not about selling truth, is about selling, period. NATO is causing more civilian casualties in Afghanistan than the IDF in the last 60 years, but do not seem to bother anyone in Europe. Let us be clear: there is not an EU country without an anti-Islam party. Israel does not have any anti-Islam party, and the only one who was prohibited was a Zionist one (Kach). Is the marriage of the left in Europe and the imigants fromIslamist countries on all those pictures protesting. Europe is just under attack from the Islam, only that in a more quiet, politically correct way. The IDF should just behave like the British and Americans in Afghanistan: do your job, and try to avoid civilian casualties, and if they happen, make sure to let know how do they operate in such an Arab way: behind the civilians
19. Great article, very valid point, thanks!(end)
Beer ,   Germany   (12.05.12)
20. BBC is a subsiduary of Al-Jazzira which
Roman ,   Moscow   (12.05.12)
is the hand of Al-quada in Qatar. Its boss in Qatar is Al-Quada member who claims he was "palestinian" the main BBC "correspondent" in the Middle East is "Dusset", member of Al-Quada. She claims she was the leader of Islamic revolution in Egypt. All this explained in several Russian TV stations.
21. #1, State of Palestine
Wizzard of Oz ,   Land of Oz   (12.05.12)
"The naked truth is always better than the best dressed lie", but nothing can beat the naked lie. What you fail to understand is that the lying pack of "journalists" inhabitating most of western european news agencies don't matter anymore. Because the people who matter don't believe a word from the likes of BBC. And we won't let Israel down. All Israel want's is to exist in peace, while Gaza arabs are not able to fullfill the most elementary request from Israel: To recognize its right to exist. Gaza arabs - never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
22. #1 naked truth??
Gabor ,   Budapest, Hungary   (12.05.12)
Syrian children killed by Assad and portraying them as Gazans is the naked truth? Showing a "wounded" man who is running around just 2 minutes later is the naked truth? I just don't understand how so many people are so full of hatred that they actually do believe all the lies about Israel.
23. Voters should punish this lack of competence
Alberto ,   Italy   (12.05.12)
Since years in this country some goodwill zionists try to counter arab propaganda, with tiny means. Misrad Hahuz relyed only on jewish political networks, ignoring that public opinion conditions political alliances; so it refused to cooperate on hasbara. They mostly pointed to organize big events, in order to improve their visibility and carreer credits.
24. How to win the media war
Isaac ,   USA   (12.05.12)
Jews are totally out spent and outnumbered by the numbers of moslems who advocate and lie for the palestinians' genocidal cause. What Jews must do is that every single one of us must become educated on the facts and become an outspoken advocate for Israel. If the majority of Jewish adults knew how to effectively defend Israel in a debate and they did so, we could counter the palestinian lies that are propogated by millions of moslems daily throughout the world
25. Foreign Press beat IDF
Benjamin ,   Greenville   (12.05.12)
I was going to make a comment, however, there is no point given the wimpish nature of Israeli society.
26. BBC is a leftwing jewhating old 'dirty' boys club
Danny ,   Beer Sheva   (12.05.12)
who probably are more interested in molesting little boys and girls than learning about morality from jews. They silenced the holocaust when it happened. There should be stiff penalties for the likes of the bbc when they libel us like was the case several times by using false footage! Right now they get away with bloodlibel and inciting for murder.
27. Salma, 41000 dead Syrians yet you do not cry
(12.05.12)
28. Read abuser Jimmy Saville BBC fiasco+ Newsnight complicity
(12.05.12)
29. For 8 days the BBC didn't report about Syria
during Cloud Pillar   (12.05.12)
30. Everyday 25+ Syrians die but BBC only report Gaza
Jacob   (12.05.12)
