Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (04.15.07)
As I said in my jpost talkback that seems to be getting support Boycott British jouranlist . No entry to Israel and no support or security for them either. No nice hotels for them to sleep etc. boycotting goes both ways. Also write the BBC the telegraph the Times etc. Let our voices be heard
62. Alan Johnston
MARK ROBERTSON ,   Lisbon, Portugal   (04.15.07)
Nice one NUJ! Just as the news is breaking that your member the BBC correspondent in Gaza has apparently been executed by a Palestinan group linked to al-Qaeda. Long Live the Heroic Struggle of the Palestinian People!
63. Unfortunately, this is a reflection and outcome of many
Avihu   (04.15.07)
years of news organizations such as the Guardian, Independent, BBC and LRB doing their utmost to bash anything Israel and by extention the most important institution and symbol of Jewish national life in the 20th and 21st centuries -- the Jewish state of Israel.
64. No Visas For British Journalists.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (04.15.07)
Reciprocity is an appropriate response. They boycott us, we boycott them. After all, they should bear the consequences of their decisions.
65. BRITISH CONCENTRATIONS CAMPS KILLS THOUSANDS IN AFRICA.
MARIA THE CHRISTIAN ,   AFRICA   (04.15.07)
GO PLEASE CHECK GOOGLE BOER WAR CONCENTRATIONS CAMPS. READ WHAT THE BRITS NEVER WANTED YOU TO KNOWS. HOW THE KILLED ALL THOSE WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
66. UK journalists boycott Israel over ‘IDF aggression in Gaza’
T. Golan ,   Sweden   (04.15.07)
Its time to deport all UK journalists as they are now a part in the conflict and not neutral observers
67.  UK journalists boycott Israeli products
Robert Levita ,   Thornhill, Canada   (04.15.07)
Guess this means they are trashing their PCs and laptops and going back to typewriters.
68. The world should boycott the UK then
DR ,   Florida, USA   (04.15.07)
This country has commited the most human rights attrocoties than any other country in history. The British empire has killed more people in the name of something and has more blood on its hands than anyone else. Should we boycott them for this? It seems these journalists have lost their grip on reality....kind of like the far-left here in the US.
69. Don't make it public ! ! !
Ed ,   Hertzlya   (04.15.07)
Everybody think you are stupid, don't talk to show it ! ! !
70. Hard to sink lower...
Alan ,   SIlver Spring Md.USA   (04.15.07)
The BBC's Alan Johnston is murdered by the Arabs as some British left-wing "journalists" vote to boycott Israel. Is there no depth to which these leftists won't sink to appease terrorists and to injure the victims of terrorism?
71. I agree, boycott all israeli goods !
Dan ,   Haifa, Israel   (04.15.07)
That's a great idea ! Totaly agree to that. That way all the anti-semic won't have PCs cause all the intel chips of todays generation are Israeli made and know-how, also the Laptop BTW. How about your planes ? Want to attack Iran, Iraq ? Ours, no flight control for you... Wait, how about 90% of the generic drugs, yep, Israeli... Ohh and all the most advenced elec and medices in hospitals and so on, yep guess what OURS. Wait, did I forget something ? Ohh, yeah... Your operating system, Windows also but want something else ? Linux ? Israeli... OK, so can we use the internet ? Nope, PHP is Israeli made and most of the sites today work on PHP. Ok now that's just getting annoying, something else ? Ofcouse... most of your applications and hi-tech equipment is OURS also. So yes ! I say all the anti-semic shouldn't use our products, that way they will die and leave a world with only good people ! Ohh, and BTW? The brits soldiers are girls, can't even attack a boat who comes to take them. Damn arrogant brits.
72. Biased Broadcasting Corporation
Golan ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (04.15.07)
I wonder what 'Hard Talk' is going to have to say about this one? It about time that BBC gets off high horse! 'Self -righteous', modern idealistic views about the Middle East and the BBC's terribly biased attempt at journalistic integrity has for years insulted Israel and her citizens. This is a wake up call: BBC report the true facts! Keep your Anti-Israel rhetoric out and paint the true, raw picture of the Palestinian nation- Those who have kidnapped those who have exploded and those who have ended, in vein, the life of a member of your staff. There is no place in the Middle East for you superficial, sensationalized reporting. That's HARD TALK for you!!
73. DUMB BRITS!!
simon ,   canada   (04.15.07)
LETS SEND IN THE 15 BRITISH (WUSSIES) I MEAN SAILORS TO RESCUE THAT REPORTER JOHNSTON THEN MAYBE THOSE COWARDS COULD SELL ANOTHER STORY!!!!!
74. #53 - They don't deserve Apple
Raymond from DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (04.15.07)
Dani suggests "UK Media... make my day and switch to Apple!". You say that like it's a curse. As a Mac user, I'd say they don't *deserve* an Apple. Let those bigots rot with Windows. Moreover, if true to their boycott they shouldn't touch an Apple either, as its Intel Core processor was designed by Intel Israel. (It will soon be manufactured there as well.)
75. Palestinian organization claims to have murdered BBC reporte
Louis ,   Chashmonaim, Israel   (04.15.07)
Palestinian Jihad and Tawheed Brigades say Alan Johnston has been executed, blame British, Palestinian governments
76. Ohh, almost forgot, your cellphones also
Dan ,   Haifa, Israel   (04.15.07)
Sorry m8's, your 3 generation cells, yeah those ones with cameras in them, can't use them any more ! Damn now you can't report... What a shame...
77. Here for the best species a list of what you should boycott
Dan ,   Haifa, Israel   (04.15.07)
Here you go, that's the main stuff, start there and go on: http://eyesoft.co.il/boycott.txt
78. #7 Well said
Debbie ,   Toronto   (04.15.07)
79. It's that whole Roman Empire thing again.
jan   (04.15.07)
80. Was this before, or after the BBC journalist was killed?
jan   (04.15.07)
81. #24, Einat
Danny   (04.15.07)
What makes you think that a single one of these "journalists" has ever been to Israel?
82. #38, "Leaving Gaza completely"?
Danny   (04.15.07)
Eh, we did. Last year. You may have seen it on the news not written by "journalists" "boycotting" Israel - going to go on a limb and guess they aren't going to be throwing away their mobiles or laptops anytime soon.
83. Their pali friends
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (04.15.07)
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3388215,00.html The palis will eat them up one at a time
84. #53: Can't hide in Apple either
LMAO ,   Haifa, Israel   (04.15.07)
Jef Raskin was a descendent of one of the oldest Israeli-Jewish families, and clearly had tight loyalties. Too bad...
85. HIZBALLAH STRUCK FIRST!
Stuart ,   Ny,ny   (04.15.07)
BUT I GUESS TO PREJUDICE MINDS FAIRNESS DOSN'T MATTER. I WONDER HOW THESE JOURNALISTS FEEL NOW THAT THE PALS SAY THEY EXECUTED ONE OF THEIR OWN! WILL THEY NOW VOTE NOT TO GO INTO GAZA ! OR WILL IT BE ISRAELS FAULT!
86. #55 Not fast enough!
Metatron   (04.15.07)
87. Londanistan here we come!
Scott ,   Papua New Guinea   (04.15.07)
It will only get worse as the lose of England to the Islamic global take over continues.
88. brit reporters
jeff ,   USA   (04.15.07)
Nothing but a bunch of appeasing slime.Europe just doesn't get it.But of course they will call the USA when they need to be protected.I hope my country doesn't lift a finger to help any of you the next time you want our help.Keep sucking up to Iran,Syria,Hezbalah,and Hamas.
89. What else can you expect from the European ugliness?
Roger ,   USA   (04.15.07)
90. Stupid bastards.
Ilan ,   Ariel   (04.15.07)
Strong, but this news item coexists with an announcement that the Islamic Jihad executed a British journalist. Has there ever been a more damning set of events, that a bunch of left oriented anti-semites stand and condemn Israel while one of their on is being slaughtered in Gaza. Full of rot and decay these British leftists.
