61. Expel them NOW
Herbert ,   Hebron,Israel   (03.13.11)
let them print lies from elsewhere. Cleanse Israel NOW
62. #46, how should they react?
Danny   (03.13.11)
Because when a turkish ship heading for an enemy of Israel refused to divert and when the "aid workers" then tried to beat to death the soldiers who boarded, that was headline news for the BBC and CNN. This is despite the fact there was video of the event. The BBC also managed to find time to report the death, apparently the first case ever of someone dying from CS gas in the open. They also had no issue blaming Israel. As a former BBC journalist, you must be acquainted with the fact that your ex-colleagues appear to be a mixture of idiots and useful idiots.
63. 3 lets bann them too also pravda, le mond and ny times.
Sarah B. ,   USA / Israel   (03.13.11)
Enough of that, lets showe them whos boss.
64. cnn
moron ,   galut   (03.13.11)
nobody watches or believes it anyway--alas there are jews who do not want to call arab or islamic terrorism by its name--israel's enemies are learning not to fear as are america's enemies as well--liberal journalism encourages them
65. Former CNN Exec: Saddam Used Network
Tom ,   USA   (03.13.11)
Old news: CNN curried favor with Iraq's Saddam by covering up his crimes. In exchange Saddam provided CNN with privileged press position. Nickname of CNN in the US: Communist News Network.
66. What's wrong with you people?
Robert ,   Brisbane Australia   (03.13.11)
Did Israeli media outfits report on all the murders elsewhere in the world? I thought not. What makes people think a murder at an Israeli settlement in the occupied territory is more newsworthy? There are many multiple murders committed across the world daily and they aren't reported on Ynet or the Jerusalem Post. These complaints are another symptom of Israelis displaying their self importance.
67. West Bank
Jo Milligan ,   Stockbridge, USA   (03.13.11)
All that land was given to the Jews many years ago. The Arabs have consistently taken more and more of their land. Including Syria and Jordan. When are politicos going to do the right thing and give them back their land!????
68. 60
zionist forever   (03.14.11)
This is why Bibi needs to publish the photographs of what things looked like before the clean up. Get stories from the couple who took in the surviving children. The Japanese tsunami, the US budget, Libya its all taking all the headlines so nobody klnows about the thing. Without shock headlines this is something the outside will never know about it. I have been watching to see if there is any coverage by western news agencies. BBC, SKY, FOX non of them have had a single word to say.
69. #27 Cynic, Said Perfectly, "It does not fit their Narrative"
JMK ,   NYC   (03.14.11)
Jews not fitting into their narrative is why Jews fought and died to build their own state.
70. Come on, people
Peter ,   USA   (03.14.11)
Some people have short memories. MOST news sites put phrases in quotation marks when they are quoting official sources. A cursory glance at CNN right now reveals quotation marks around all sorts of stories, like "Nuclear threat 'under control.' " Are we to take that to mean CNN doesn't believe the nuclear threat is under control? Fox News does the same thing. Just go to their website and see, right now! This is a trivial stylistic measure and doesn't indicate CNN is salivating over Jewish blood.
71. CNN & BBC
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (03.14.11)
Israel should tell CNN & BBC they are not welcome in Israel, and to give them 72 hours to get out of Israel
72. To# 66....Yea Right!
rachel ,   chutz4 now home soon   (03.14.11)
Israelis should follow the pattern of reporting done in AU? Let's see, "no reported Aus." carry-on. From australian disasters to others around the world, AU Media's first words are: "# of aussies" or lack there of. It is YOU that is a TALL POPPY!
73. CNN Israel Coverage
Alison ,   New York, USA   (03.14.11)
Actually the CNN coverage in the 2006 conflict was the best of all the American news channels and not too bad during Gaza. They are much more balanced than they used to be. Really, I watch them a lot. Also FoX often has very anti-Israel news especially during wars.
74. #68
Omri ,   Israel   (03.14.11)
Fox has a good article on it in their website.
75. # 63
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.14.11)
is a fake.
76. # 46
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.14.11)
We the readers deserve the truth from you journalists. Over-reaction ? how would you react to your family being slaughtered? (When an entire Jewish family is killed by palestinian terrorists, the entire House of Israel goes into mourning. I dont expect you to understand this) We,the readers disagree with your,the journalists, half-thruths & lies & total non-compassion. Maybe if an arab family had been slaughtered, you being from Wadi Ara would have more compassion.
77. BBC = Bloody Biased ...........
David ,   Melbourne, Australia   (03.14.11)
Think we all know what the 'C' would stand for
78. From the CNN report
pete ,   UK   (03.14.11)
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said that "all objective data based on the investigation" led the government to believe "the only possible conclusion" was that the settlement murders were a terror attack. He would not elaborate on what evidence was leading investigators to that conclusion. Why did he not elaborate?
79. BBC stimulate and foster anti semitism and hatred of Jews
Eliezer ,   Jerusalem   (03.14.11)
What can one expect when the UK Anglo Jewish community leaders constantly bury their heads in the sand for the last 10 years whilst the BBC has spewed its filth across the world. THe organisation is now headed by Lord Pattern, an anti semite if there ever was one so it should not be surprising that instead of providing news it provides subjective opinion disguised as news. There is no place for permitting BBC to report from Israel any longer.
80. BBC and CNN also passed out candy
Ilan ,   Ariel   (03.14.11)
In solidarity with the 'people' of Gaza
81. Catch and Release
Mark G. ,   Hurricane, USA   (03.14.11)
The terrorist, if caught, has the hope that he will be ransomed with the bodies of dead Israeli soldiers, to return to his home as a hero. This is sad, but it is exactly how a similar case turned out. Had that one ended differently, maybe this one would not have happened.
82. #11 I guess you are just an impostor "Simon"
(03.14.11)
83. SEND THEM THE PICTURES OF THE VICTIMS
carlos ,   San Diego U.S.A.   (03.14.11)
let's see if they publish them! CNN=C##@@@ Non-objective nonsense and BBC (as mentioned by #77) Bloody biased C#@@@@ or Bloody Bast%%%$## Cabrones
84. The post at No. 63 is a fraud
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.14.11)
I actually know the English language and use it properly. It isn't even a credible fraud.
85. There is only one solution to this never ...
Malone ,   Hfx   (03.14.11)
....ending bullshit.... Deport them all to Jordan or blow them all up,their choice. Israel is trying to reason with barbarians that are incapable of reasoning. They are primitive 7th century ideologues,with a religion based on hate and violence,which has no place in todays world. Look around the world and see where all the violence stems from and who causes it. I,for one,am sick to death of muslims and their hateful religion. I also will be surprised if YNET prints this,but at least I vented.
86. #66 You're on an Israeli News website, Dumbo
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (03.14.11)
87. new article failed to show
Annsy ,   Israel   (03.14.11)
There is a new article on CNN this morning "Israeli family 'killed in terror attack'", but the link, at least on my computer, goes NO WHERE!
88. chaim, its time you learn that WE NEED THE WORLD TO CARE
Binny ,   jerusalem, israel   (03.14.11)
i am an avid zionist who moved to israel alone at the age of 15, but i still strongly beleive that we cant fight this fight on our own. This world is apolitical world and israel has to fight against CNN and BBC for spreading lies and making israel look like the bad guy.
89. Cnn's "slant"
Deborah J Bagley-Bri ,   Boise, Ada   (03.14.11)
Once again, CNN blows it, withholding the truth... We would like the truth or the money that is beng spent to slander the truth, should be given to those who will give the truth, thank you!!!
90. Robert #66
R ,   Israel   (03.14.11)
The world media reports everything and anything that happens here. Countries 10 times our size do not "enjoy" the coverage that we get. The slant is against us, the standard is double. You've already been provided with at least one example in an earlier talkback. Do your homework; they abound.
