1. 1/2 the story
Ellen ,   Israel/NYC   (08.21.13)
NOga Gur Arieh is 100% accurate in writing that the media drinks in Palestinian manipulations. However, when included in that media are also Israeli newspapers the why this happens begins to have psychological overtones way beyond the scope of a talk back!
2. If you can't beat them join them!
tiki ,   belgium   (08.21.13)
Like in business: The customer is ALWAYS king. If lies are what they want, sell them Isra-bluf!
3. Convenient Fiction
Al ,   US   (08.21.13)
In general people don't want to think about unpleasant things. The Intellectual crowd including most University Professors, as well as, the Media at Large, spoon feed their bias to the masses on a daily basis and have been for decades. Thus, the average Westerner, (forget about the 3rd world simpletons) , had the Pali-Victimhood fallacy and its moral relativity digested long ago.
4. Arab propaganda
Dave S. ,   Hendersonville, NC   (08.22.13)
What is amazing here is that Israel seems at a loss as to what to do. With Nobel Prize winners and leaders in journalism and all the media, how did the Jews get out-smarted by the Arabs? Has anyone written about this unique phenomenon that defies belief?
5. staged performance, staged people
Steve   (08.22.13)
Watching the spectacle of hundreds of village idiots running around I am doubtful that there is sufficient reason for Israel to sacrifice an inch for "peace" with these troglodytes. What a grotesque group of people the Palestinians depicted are. Can their "leaders" be much better?
6. You could hold a Pallywood Oscar..
Nathan Rai ,   Bangalore   (08.22.13)
Unfortunately, I cannot show this post to the entire world ?? How about holding a very publicised Pallywood Award function in the States and all over the world every year. Where videos of speeches of the poor ol' Palestinian Leaders ( check out MEMRI ) and Pallywood movies can compete ? Or create a website and publicise it.... You can put in a couple of Nasrallah videos in the comedy section.
7. Nakba denial, Holocaust denial, same thing, racist haters
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN   (08.22.13)
8. Generally speaking, anyone with University education should
tom ,   tel aviv   (08.22.13)
be banned from voicing their opinions in public, especially in the field of journalism. Professors should be quarantined at campuses, where they could give endless series of courses....to each other. There is something basically wrong with intellectualism, but I dunno what it is. As for Arabs: they are selling to the West what they know is highly digestive among their own: after all we're all human. What can be consumed & enjoyed by a Muslim, can be even more so by a Scandinavian.

rm ,   NL Amsterdam   (08.22.13)
really the same thing isn't it? Considering among other things that Israel is now considering to pay people to post positive views on Israel in the social media

"Selling lies as truth or post positive things about Israel, which can be checked without much effort". Really? The same thing? I suppose you are one of those who believe that the villain in a ''soap is a villain in life.
11. Pallywood at the BBC
Bikerwolf ,   London U.K.   (08.22.13)
I remember seeing a BBC 'report' about the 'bombing' of a Palestinian children's 'football team' in Gaza. The BBC reporter was standing outside a hospital wailing that Israeli planes had attacked the 'boys' on the football pitch whilst they innocently kicked the ball around. Behind the reporter stopped an ambulance and trundled out a fully bearded 'boy football player' in full military combat clothing and boots. Another time a BBC reporter was banging on about Palestinian 'casualties' during some fighting or other and was again facing the camera when the 'casualty' fell off the trolley behind him. The 'casualty' looked at the camera, laughed and climbed back onto the trolley again .

The Bible. It's the downward slide into one world government.

No it is not the same thing at all. Israel doesn't stage scenes for the cameras. Israelis never paraded bodies of Jewish children murdered and injured in suicide bombings and rocket attacks. When injured Israeli civilians did get photographed it was because there were news reporters are on the scene,or who were called to the scene of the terror attack only minutes after it happened. The only exceptions were the murder of the baby Shalhevet Pass[who was called an Arab baby killed by evil zionists in a photo was used by Arab propagandists on a video mean't to demonize Israel],her parents gave permission to show her photo,and the murder of the Fogel family. In both cases the families agreed to let the Israeli government use the photos of their deceased loved ones to show the world the cruelty of the terrorists who murdered them. The unfortunate Arab casualities of war,often are caused by their own people[and then blamed on Israel],are unfortunate tragic victims collateral damage,or sometimes even staged by the pro terrorists and then used as a propaganda weapon against Israel.
15. To: No. 7
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.23.13)
The Arabs and the Moslem world, generally, deny the Holocaust. How does that equate to Arabs who voluntarily left Israel in 1947-1948 to make way for the "conquering Arab armies" because their so-called "leadership" promised them first rights of plunder of all the homes, property and businesses that the Jews would leave behind when they were driven into the sea? Oh, that's right! It doesn't! What a shame that your hatred of the Jewish people and of the Jewish State of Israel blinds you to the truth. Where I come from, that makes you both a dupe and a dope. Continue to wallow in your incredible mediocrity. You're a running joke on these threads.
16. Where is Israels Winston Churchill?
John Prophet   (08.23.13)
“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” Winston Churchill My concer about about Netanyau waiting till the bitter end to act.
17. #15 Arabs fled Jews, like Jews fled Germans, fearing death

18. Pure "hasbara" period.

19. The world of Richard Landes...
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (08.24.13)
is the world of Zionist denial. I have watched his videos and his preposterous "analysis" of the footage of Palestinians during confrontations with Israeli soldiers. You know that Landis has never set foot inside the Gaza Strip or Palestinian refugee camps. He has no idea of Palestinian society or culture, or of their resistance to Israel's occupation. He still believes that Mohammed al-Durrah is alive somewhere. The only thing one could say of Richard Landis and of the author of this article is that is shows the extent of the denial in which Zionist propagandists cloak themselves to shield themselves from reality.
20. #15- Are yoy

21. Are those clips available on youtube in...
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.25.13)
... other languages such as; Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Swedish, Finish, Norwegian, Dutch, Czech, Slovakian, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Italian, Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese Mandarin/ Cantonese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Arabic, Farsi, Hindu, Punjabi, Urdu and Klingon while your'e at it If not, why not????!!! I'm sure there would be a lot less cash flow going to these wannabe actor terrorist from the UN if the world could see how they're being made fools of.
22. Hollywood blackout on Israel continues, why? Fear of truth.
