The French media is the source of the al-Dura myth. Israeli authorities asked them for a copy of their tape and they said they had it immediately destroyed. So much for bearing witness. Israel should limit French libelers.

Israel houses the largest number of foreign journalists in the world: a thousand in this tiny country. There is hardly any censure and no punishment for journalists who write hostile articles. The end of this freedom of unbridled abuse by the press in a country at war is long overdue.

Why cannot we understand that this is not news since this NGO just exist for the press, nobody in no place ever took care of them. Please keep out of this country, including the areas of it that they describe as out of our borders. That for sure is a political stance and not admissible from somebody who asks for rights to do impartial work!

I wish ! (end)

I did not realize that Israel was engaged in any wars beyond its borders, save for the one in response to the attack from Lebanon two years ago. I think the French mean that any action within Israel is a war "beyond" that country's borders, in other words, to these French, Israel has no right to exist.

So send them all there. I really missing reports from this country.

I just see them as missing borders in Israel and US bashing. I saw not much reports if any on Saudi Arabia, Iran public executions, Colombian drugs mafia, Darfur genocide, Tibet, rise of anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism in EU, Kurdistan fight for independence, hunger and diseases in Africa and Asia etc. etc. etc. on everyday news channels. The modern journalism is targeting mostly US and Israel in their critics and the source of blatant brainwashing.

if you don't like it here, just go away and stay there. Go to Iceland, New Zeeland or Darfur. Just go.

No blame on PA ( Alan Johnston spent three months in prison there - free press obviously), Afganistan, Pakistan, majority of Africa, I guess no much freedom in S. Arabia, Syria or Iran. But they critisize Israel only. Gentlemen, you have to admit - you hate Israel. You hate Jews. It's not about freedom or other excuses. You can't hide behind it anymore. You can't say anymore - I'm not anti-semitic because I critisize Israel. You lie when you say that, critisizing Israel with the frequency that you do equals hating, it's your passion, obcession, occupation. You don't care about any injustcies in the world, you don't care about poor and opressed. You react like Pavlov's dog when you hear the word "Israel" you start drooling, it's akin to a perverted sexual pleasure. Shame on you reporters.

Six months you wrote emails about how terrible a place Israel is and that you were leaving for good. Then once in the diaspora you kept with your anti-Israel emails. Yet now you are back in Israel. What gives??? Maybe you learned that Israel is not so bad afterall.

But more than that, I suspect that these journalists simply don't want to take the trouble to behave and report responsibly in a warzone under war conditions and so use whatever tools they have to whine and cry - they are Britney Spears in an Edward R. Murrows world.

Reporters Without Morals continue to propagandize and lie about the real problems here. They refuse to admit it's the Arabs who declared and continue to wage war. They openly lie when talking about " wars outside their own territory", since Israel officially has no specific territory other than the 20% of BMP not Jordan. After all, the Arabs demanding the Armistice Agreements talk about armistice lines, not borders, so Israel doesn't have any other than the international borders of the neighboring countries. The talk about "dialog" w/o demanding the Arabs unconditionally end the war they unconditionally began, and continuing to ignore that Israel's always offered to talk, talked and signed peace agreements when possible. It's the Arabs the excuse for reporters apologize for who won't talk.

most of them declare themselves as such. They should be treated as they requested.

swimm swim little fish but the water is fresh and the sea is french .swimm swim little fish

Reuters has historically, and openly, lied in its articles about Jews in general; French television OPENLY lies in its broadcasts regarding Tzahal, admits it lies, and simply continues; Shana was in a WAR ZONE with its inherent risks and paid the price! Correspondents in war zones are killed often - it's the risk of that position! The RSF, typically, makes no comments on journalists killed by the islamofascists. Reading the report for example, not one comment is made of an Afghan journalist sentenced to 20 years in prison for writing an article on the growth of women's demands in muslim states. Bottom line: As usual, the french critics should look in their own glass houses before venturing complainst against others

When the press starts to write the truth in the Arab world, then they complain, until then the Free Press isnt really free, its a propaganda tool of the wacko liberal left, Arab dictators, and Islamists. Thank goodness for Fox News!

Ginger you're barmy You'll never join the army. You missed your kindergarten today, sweetie?

Whenever people intermingle with combatants they become legitimate targets according to the Geneva Convention. Want to live, stay out of the warzone. Otherwise TFB

in the next war you must help the arabs target their missiles to keep the good opinion of the french who set an example for the rest of the world[except israel] by surrender.

not only did the french give up without firing a shot in the second world war...they also deported their jews eagerly....i despise them...so should all of you

Risk losing it,so much for "Freedom" of the Press.

It is outside the Green Line, i.e. the 1949 Armistice Line, which Israel asked to be made an international boundary before 1967, but which the UN (on which France has a permanent veto power) refused to recognize for fear of upsetting the Arabs. Hence, it remains a Green Line and not a Blue Line. The only boundary which has any legal weight in international law is the boundary created by the League of Nations in 1922 for the Jewish National Home. No territory east of the Jordan River can be exempted from these provisions.

Besides that what the hell is france? Although what they said about Iceland was cool.

I HAVE FOR YEARS LOOKED TO EUROPEAN NEWS WEB SITES FOR THE "REAL" NEWS OF WHATS HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD AND IN THE USA. WHILE THE USA IS NOTORIOUS FOR "KEEPING AMERICANS IN THE DARK" ABOUT EUROPE, THE FRENCH, ON THE OTHERHAND, ARE GIVING YOU AN "ARAB" POINT OF VIEW OF THE NEWS. FRANCE HAS BECOME A MOSLEM NATION A WHILE AGO.......SO WHO NEEDS THAT SHI... FOR THE NEWS
