So what your saying is Dan Rather isn't a News man, but will slant his story based on how his crew was treated? Gee, that's interesting! As if this minor story will change the view of bigots like you? Regardless of how Dan Rather and his crew were treated, what would that have to do with reporting the unvarnished truth. Or does that change because you don't like somebody? If your treated badly...in your eyes...does that give you a pass to lie or report a story with extreme bias? What would you and your ilk, know of truth anyway? You've been drinking the Arab Kool-Aid for so long, you wouldn't know the truth if it hit you in the face, which is exactly what I suspect you need.

i would search him and his crew too! and that is when he entered the united states, he has proved he more interested in supposed islamic rights as apposed to anybody else. and i totally agree with the Israeli searching this clown. he doesn't seam to know that his job is to report the truth and not make it up as he feels.

working for rather. When they were forced to drop their pants, the security people were checking if any of them had a brain in their seat. There wasn't one in the heads.

dont you have any shekel left for devices, as others use ? all money to the settlements...

Either way you follow these silly, childish "journalist crews" they'd blame Israel. Suppose the Palestinian cameraman was a bomber and set it off, killing Dan Rather and the MK? Then the network and crew would spin a horrible story about how lax Israeli security is. And just look at TSA who regularly strip search even paraplegic passengers! Wheres the brouhaha there!? Dan Rather is not above security checks: he's just a man like anyone else. If these immature little weenies don't like security they can stay out of Israel: it's not like their lies and propaganda do any good. How about a nice story about WHY the Palestinians have forced Israeli society to live like this!? They murder sleeping babies with their bare hands intentionally, etc, etc. Where are these stories? Where is the truth, reality and horrors that the palestinians have created and imposed on the world (a Palestinian killed RFK for crying out loud)! This silly bs has gone on for too long: they don't deserve to live in Israel and should be given the boot. Look at Hezbollah ise anon: they took over that country and are now offering help to barhain! It's the systematic destruction of whole cultures these Palestinians are engaged in. Time to fight them to the bitter end. Stay home Dan Rather and your pompous crews: Israel is fighting for her survival: get a clue!

Sorry -- you see, Israel is a target for terrorists. Given the tenor of certain news agencies and news channels, Israel has no choice but to consider them aiders and abetters of terrorism. If they don't like it, perhaps they should contemplate -- oh my gracious! -- balanced news reporting. Dan Rather is one of the worst; so it can only be said that he is the victim of his own "news" reporting. By the way --- wherever on earth did you get the idea that Dan Rather is well respected?

Good work IDF but you didn't go far enough. Next time its a sigmoidoscopy with no lubricant!

...although yes there was controversy...nevertheless he was exposing the most incopetent US President in history. How can a person be soo highly regarded throughout his career ...and then just because a few of you Jews don't like his point of view he is a disgrace and is discredited??? he is legendary you meatheads...

of an A-hole as the American public know him to be. The guy beds down with any nefarious despot that will sleep with him to further his career. Why shouldn't the clown be searched.

The anti-Israel US media thinks they are G-d. Everyone gets searched in Israel, This includes Everyone---including a USA Jewish woman with Israeli passport. It is because of the terrorists that the US media is protecting. The Israeli security forces need to do their job.

How "pro-'Palestinian'" do you think the world is after (a) the massacre of the Fogel family as they slept; (b) the mortar, Qassam and Grad attacks on civilian areas of Israel; and (c) the bombing of a bus stop in Jerusalem? Sit back and watch that for a while. I note for the record that your observations are made from Las Vegas, Nevada. Roughly 8,000 miles away geographically (although you are light years away intellectually and realistically).

Perhaps next time Rather and his retinue should fly to Cairo. They gang rape journalists there. Following that, I suspect he'd be far less inclined to criticize Israel. Besides, he was terminated by CBS for being a liar. Who the hell cares what bothers him?

Ynet has a predilection for distorting and twisting words. "Forcing the crew to drop pants"? What a shame! Why don't you mention that Rather is a leftist proarab hypocite and the security proceedures apply to verybody? Shame on you!

Its a joke of course.

I know you can get security clearance beforehand, that is before you even travel, if you notify Israel before you come. It is a process you have to go through. This seems mighty suspicious.

or maybe you have something to be ashamed of. A real man would be proud to stick it out.

Well deserved. Israel has no reason to trust Dan Rather, the bigot. Israel has no reason to trust American mainstream lame stream media.

1. Dan Rather was fired. 2. The most incompetent president in United States history is the current office holder, Hussein Obama. 3. Well, he had the misfortune to be very vocally and inappropriately anti-Semitic while working for Lawrence Tisch. Mr. Tisch is both Jewish and a very strong supporter of Israel. 4. Please name ONE remarkable feat of journalism performed by Dan Rather. Even if you google it, as I suspect you will, you will not come up with anything. He is a legend only in his own mind -- and, it would appear, yours.

it's really sad how you people are willing to compromise everything decent for your fairy tales and some dirt. you all need help.

Would he like some cheese and bread to go with that whine?

LOL #49 is a wreck for that matter it's ALL HER FAULT. edithann I feel sorry for an asswipe like you.

Did security ask him that?

So tired of hearing journalists whine and mooan. Stfu

For the cavity search, is a brain scan necessaery?

This is why he was fired, but in today's politically correct world it is called "retirement" Except for Charlie Sheen being fired, in the last 10 years in the US all other dismissed public figures "retired" There is something suspicious that this happens in 100% of cases, wouldn't you agree? BTW Rather was fired for lying and he lies now too.

and cameramen in order to commit a terrorism attack? Go ask the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan about that. I suppose in the mind of rabid anti-Israelis and Leftists once a person takes up a camera or Press pass they are suddenly objective, moral, and with a strong desire to save the world. However, that's not the case and you know it. Probably why the media is never allowed too close to Arafat, Saddam, Mashaal, Haniyeh, etc. They know the score.

but they always return to Israel, the shining democracy in the Middle East.

He's been presented facts, he's heard from victims, he's been presented with intelligence over the years showing how "Palestinians" use terror and their own children as human shields.... and it doesn't move him. So who cares? Journalists are hardly objective and usually dance to the tune of their producers. ABC, NC, and CBS (national stations in the US) have a policy of being anti-Israel, for a very long time.
