YNET- THANK YOU for covering foreign press coverage of this war and highlighting the disparities. Please continue!

Even those who aren't particularly sympathetic to Bibi Natanyahu could get a good measure of satisfaction from his interview with the British Television this morning. I guess it can be attributed to his days studying history at Harvard. The interviewer asked him: "How come so many more Lebanese have been killed in this conflict than Israelis?" (A nasty question if there ever was one!) Natanyahu: "Are you sure that you want to start asking in that direction?" Interviewer: (Falling into the trap) Why not? Natanyahu: "Because in World War II more Germans were killed than British and Americans combined, but there is no doubt in anyone's mind that the war was caused by Germany's aggression. And in response to the German blitz on London, the British wiped out the entire city of Dresden, burning to death more German civilians than the number of people killed in Hiroshima. Moreover, I could remind you that in 1944, when the R.A.F. tried to bomb the Gestapo Headquarters in Copenhagen, some of the bomb! s missed their target and fell on a Danish children's hospital, killing 83 little children. Perhaps you have another question?"

I' ve travel a lot,and tell you that every time I am in Europe,I am amazed by the distortion of a real facts that CNN presents in their media coverages.They are not just anti-israeli and anti-Jewish,but rather anti-American!!! Shame on CNN and Jewish journalist that work for CNN!

Israeli war crimes against humanity!? Should I discuss that Hezbollah targets civilians intentionally, or will your propoganda washed brain not be able to handle the truth? You're people have been lied to, oppressed, and manipulated all by people who you claim to be friends with (i.e. Syria and Iran). Israel is the one who attempts to avoid civilian casulties, but Hezbollah hides cowardly among thier people. Meanwhile, Hezbollah fires rockets from marketplaces onto Israeli cities HOPING to kill anyone, let it be Israeli civilians, military, and even your own Arabs. Disgusting.

Excellent point. Incredibly, the very same people say that Jews control world media. I'd ban BBC and CNN from Israel.

From our TV net works.They are soo pro Arab its sick.We never get a fair deal from THE BBC or CNN.They are very aggressive when they interview our ministers and very rude. Bane them

I know, this as 99.9999% of talkbacks is not going to be pubblished but who cares that's democracy!!! MOST of the western mass media do not cover the Haifa "destruction" because in comparison of what you did in Lebanon its only PICNIC nothing more!! the western countries, including my Italy, are very powerfull militarily but they never misuse it INSTEAD israel does! Your reaction to the provacation you had received from hezbullah was out of any proportion, you've destroyed lebanon's infrastructures, lives,economy et cetera. Showing how intelligent you're for saving the lives of your 2 soldiers you've sacrificed 200 among civilians and militiamen of your own country without counting those disabled permanently!! By the way, have you recoved the kidnapped soldiers??Next time think twice before you react. I used to be your advocate but this time really you've let me down. I feel ashamed and i really hope that in the future you'll redress the balance. Shalom.

How dare they give poverty stricken peasants unbiased air time ! Israel with it's arsenal of American political bias, foreign policy kowtowing, weapons and American trained media spinners have dominated just about everything for decades. Ordinary Americans and the World are starting to look at the broader picture now. At the risk of becoming outcasts, mainstream media can no longer ignore this.

the american who talks of war crime!! hahahaha you make me crazy,baby!! have you ever had of grapebombs?? where are they produced and what is the difference btn them and the bearingbombs used by they Hizbs?? What about the sulphate bombs used in Iraq?? Guys, let's try to be serious and if we don't have argument we can just shut-up!!! By the way your country has vetod for the establishment of a permanent intl. war tribune so we do not accept any moral lesson neither from you as a single nor from your fellow citizens mind you, you still apply death penalty just like arabs and chinese govts - shame!!! next time get informed before you paint us with your shit!! VIVA ISRAEL.

Most of the world hates Israel. They hate it because they are ignorant and blame their problems on Jews. They do so because their ignorant fathers taught them to do so, and their fathers before that. The world has problems. These problems are not caused by Israel or Jewish people. Stop blaming your problems on the Jewish people. My guess by the inaccurate use of grammer and uneducated arrogant attitude is that you are from France. Your people are rioting because of your faults, not because of Israel.

establish a new news report from the middle east! not biased for israel but proffesional! Something need to be done! and right now! it's alresdy too late!

How many Lebenese were actually killed compared to Hezbollah reports? Can you trust Hezbollah to be accurate? Shariah law states that it is neccesary to lie in times of war.

I wonder what your Italy would do if france or spain would launch bombs at your towns and kidnap your people what would you "powerfull militar do. Would they invite them for a pizza? I think not i know they would wake up muselene and attack. Dont be so stupid Kaigz you know italy would use everything they had to protect there civilians.

Forget the one sidedness for a minute, watch the people reporting, they carry on as if any second they are going to orgasm. Their use of adjectives and big words to portray any image worse than it is..I mean the devastaton in Lebanon is horrific no doubt, and news is news but the reporters are the ones who make me sick..I In every news story they overextend themselves...trying to interpret situations and intentions wrongly and therefore giving people their own personal views of situations that they really do not understand, the people watching dont know that its only the reporter's interpretation, they think maybe he is in the know otherwise why wud he say these things, and it just encourages confusion and probably hatred. Thru journalism we learn the truth about what is happening in the world, but I think the almighty dollar and the need for a scoop has overridden the necessity to tell the truth in words and not distort it with pictures. That in this war at least, appears to be mostly computer enhanced and doctored.

I get all my information from the net, now. Media became an active participant in the war againt Israel and should be treated accordingly. israel should control the media access and if they engage in anti-israeli propaganda, boot them out. Also, Israeli media bears a lot of guilt -- reading Haaretz in English is like reading Guardian.

it's not the matter of being stupid or NOT. It's a question of OBJECTIVITY!! Mind you, your PM Olmert declared to bring Lebanon back for 20yrs and obviously this is what we've been witnessing. I don't think that Israel is safer today than was 1 month ago - I prefer to be proved wrong because I love Israel but I'm afraid you won't be able to do that!! What was the goal of this military confrontation?? Was it the liberation of our fellow young guys I mean the kidnapped soldiers or not?? If yes, has the IDF achieved it?? What next?? I mean these are the simple questions I, as I think most of you, Israel good-wishers , am asking myself without having any explicit response. I think time has arrived for Israel to debate freely of her fate. If there is an ACTION (kidnapping soldiers,ecc)there must be a REACTION, not OVER-REACTION,mutis mutandis. we're in the yr 2006 and i don't think if muscle display solves anything. Also time has reached to learn saying some NO to the americans with their military and/political experiments in the ME. You're the ones who suffer and ofcourse I'm the one who cries with you and obviosly I don' wanna cry any longer. BUSH decided to send Israel in war so as to fulfil his NEW ME project and who pays/dies for this pseudoproject?? Obviously, the Israelis and their beloved families NOT the americans. Please wake up my beloved elder brothers. VIVA ISRAEL.

Completely avoid reading or viewing CNN, BCC, and those who present only biased, anti-Israel views. Take the time to write those who advertise on these media sources. They are not presenting a balanced picture of the situation and it is clear that they support terrorism over the country of Israel. Jewish people and their supporters shouild boycott these "news" sources.

kidnapped IDF soldiers. Bible, Leviticus 24:17 "If a man takes the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death" Black Africans are the indigenous people of Sudan and are the majority population. The black Southern Sudanese Christians explain what "peace" means: If you agree to become a Muslim, you will have peace. If you reject Islam, you are at war. From 1955-1973, 1.5 million Christians were slaughtered by the Arab Muslim government in Khartoum. From 1983-2005, two million more Christians died from Khartoum's jihad. Murdering infidels is not considered a crime. Non-Muslim infidels are regarded as not entitled to human rights. Hundreds of thousands of Christians have been raped. Hundreds of thousands of Christian children and women taken for slaves. In the refugee camps, the Islamo-Fascist religious supremacist Khartoum government requires refugees to become Muslims in order to receive food and water. The genocide has resulted in the largest population of refugees on earth since the Second World War. The jihad in Sudan against Darfur's black African Muslims by Khartoum's racist Arab Muslim regime began in 2003. 400,000 black Muslims are dead. STOP Genocide - STOP Slavery - FREE the Slaves and kidnapped IDF soldiers. http://www.iabolish.org/ Bible, Exodus 21:16 "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death"

perhaps this article is propaganda

Hi, Fundamentally, you are correct that the press expresses its own opinion. But I have to differ with you about the consequences. The ignorant masses devlop their stupid opinions based on what the press says. Example..just look at how stupid the British are these days. Am Yisrael Chai in any event!

just to name a few biased media moguls who gets sucked in, playing the puppet for 'Jihadists' or 'Evil Leaders' who manipulates them. They breathe 'news' for the masses and sway them to the pathetic cries and pleas of the so-called 'victims'. Which Arab/Moslem country would be so kind and consious of civilian lives as to drop leaflets in that area they're in and tell them to flee to safe havens??? Has everyone forgotten 9/11 and other bombings which has no warning from the Moslem Jihadists that they're are gonna martyr for their Allah and be receiving 10 or more virgins in heaven??? World Media, Wake Up! Don't be drugged!

Clicked the link above and the reference to 'propoganda ' seems to have gone... Maybe your good work does not go unnoticed...
