1. Haaretz
Ricardo Macher ,   Karnei Shomron IL   (10.24.10)
Uri Blau, Anat Kam and Haaretz should be judged for high treason. Liberty of speech as well as press freedom are not as important as treason and working for the enemy! Jail the whole bunch!!!
2. Three Questions, One Answer
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (10.24.10)
1. Why isn't Kam in jail? 2. Why isn't Blau in jail? 3. Why isn't the Ha'aretz management in jail? Answer: Leftists get away easy in Israel.
3. lock them both in solitary and throw away the key
zionist forever   (10.24.10)
Anat Kam is an idiot idealist who abused her position which allowed her access to these documents but its even more important to charge Blau to send a message to other journalists that freedom of the press has its limits and those include publishing STOLEN classified documents. I hope some action will also be taken against Haaretz for publishing Blaus stories which they knew was based on stolen military documents.
4. A question for someone who knows...
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (10.24.10)
If such an incident happened in America, say a secretary in the Pentagon or the CIA were to leak thousands of top-secret documents to a journalist, who would flee the country and then publish some lesser-classified details of a few of those documents, on a feature story dealing with US targeted killings in Iraq - would they be charged with espionage, or treason? Would they necessarily serve any jail time, or could they get off on a plea-bargain?
5. Answer to #3
Innocenti   (10.24.10)
1. Why isn't Kam in jail? 2. Why isn't Blau in jail? 3. Why isn't the Ha'aretz management in jail? Answer: cause all of them are not Vanunu or Fahima (mizrahis) but Kam & Blau (askenazis).
6. #4, depends
Danny   (10.25.10)
Ellsberg didn't get charged with that when he released the pentagon papers
7. 3, 5 and Tahl
Larry ,   P Alto   (10.25.10)
Or, to put it another way, leftist Ashkenazim with the right connections. Sephardim don't have as many connections, clearly. But ethnicity certainly plays a role. Tahl - absolutely - most likely espionage, with the prosecution (Justice Dept) seeking probably a 20 year sentence.
8. to number 5, You are diverting attention to the case by..
Ari ,   Romania-Israel   (10.25.10)
..making racist accusations. The fact that Blau and Kam are being indicted means that there is no privileges to Ashkenizim. In my opinion these kind of comments are stupid and dont help the situation. You think Vanuno did not deserve to be charged only because he was a Sphardy and now an apostate, Or Fahima should have gone free after giving information to her boyfriend of the Martyrs Brigades? Her complicity is shown clearly with her conversion to Islam. She claerly shows where her loyalty lies. THE TWO WERE GUILTY, weather Sphardim or not. As for Blau and Kam they can rot in Jail. Lawyers want to trick the Mossad and State attorney to get away with their Crime. It's time , harsher laws should be created for traitors against the State security. Even death penalty should be put in practice, since it already exists in the Israeli Law (DEATH FOR HIGH TREASON) All the four are guilty same as the publisher of Haarets. With them THe Israeli Arab Kneset members like Tibi and Soabe should also be tried for High Treason. For people like this is why the Oath of Aligiance is necessary. Not only for the New emigrants, but to all Israelies. Israelies that betray their country weather born here or not, weather Arab Israelies,Sfardic Israelies,Ashkenazi Israelies,Ethiopeans Israelies, Israelies who came from arab countries, or Israelies from Russia etc Should be tried as traitors and the State should act accordingly. This has nothing to do with the Jewish Nature of the State. Is a matter of Loyalty as simple as that. If Tibi thinks he is Palestinian he has no right to seat in the Israeli Parliament. Let him go Back to Ramalah. WEather born here or not. He thinks because he is Arab this preceeds his Israeli Nationality with all the priviliges he receives because of this. If Tibi or Soabe are siting in the Israeli Parliment they should be loyal to Israel and not to promote things like the division of Jerusalem in favor of the Palestinians.(this goes also for Leftists) Arab Israelies should choose were their loyalty lies. If it is Palestinian they should renounce to Israeli Citizenship and be prepare to become oficialy Palestinians when the time comes and leave the country and reunite with their brothers. Israeli arabs who pledge aliance to Israel should have all the Privileges as any other Israeli.
9. the trinity
effesim   (10.25.10)
blaukam + ha'aretz + neturei karta are one and the same= worthless efessim
