1. A well explored article
Moshe ,   Israel   (08.22.14)
The Independent is known for its rave anti-Semitic (disguised as anti Israeli) stance. Let's hope it will not publish a report describing how the IDF soldiers collect the blood of the killed Gaza children for Matzot production.
2. article in The Independen
suzy anteby ,   tel aviv israel   (08.23.14)
thank you for giving us facts and statistics to refute the biased article in the British newspaper and bringing our attention to it
3. Great article, should be published in the Independent
James ,   London   (08.24.14)
4. Calm Down
Claude ,   UK and Cape Town   (08.24.14)
An excellent article, but what you have missed is that The Independent can hardly be described as a successful mainstream paper. If it was not for it's Russian moneyed owner it would not survive with a tiny circulation. Likewise the Guardian, known for its hysterical attitude towards Israel. It only survived the recession and a major financial crisis by selling other assets. By far the vast majority of UK national papers with large readerships take a much more sympathetic and even supportive view of Israel.
5. Independent
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (08.24.14)
Just to put it in perspective, The Independent is comparable to Haaretz in having a small readership and being way out in Left field. London produces about a dozen daily papers, of which The Times and The Telegraph are most representative of mainstream educated Brits. The real disappointment with British media is the BBC, who refuse to release their own 'Beilin Report' into BBC coverage of the Middle East.

German ,   Boston   (08.24.14)
Watch his videos and get it !! Impeccably said
7. Sky News often quotes Independent
TheOldestHate ,   Jerusalem Israel   (08.25.14)
Another example of unethical media in Britain is SKY NEWS which almost always has a quote from the Independent and someone from it to present to the world the "world view" Some nasty stuff going on at SKY NEWS which ironically is a "sister station" of FOX News especially nasty Sky morning program "Sunrise" with Stephen Dixon or Holmes they have guested viciously anti Israeli Jews from the Independent to defend their blatantly Anti Semitism.
8. Ero-trash as always talking out of both sides of their mouth
jericho ,   causa   (08.25.14)
when Europeans wanted to wipe anybody out it was okay, but when Jews are fighting for their lives, they are called monsters. Selfish petty bourgeoisie hippocrates
9. anti-semit-chic
ky   (08.25.14)
its as cool as having a bucket of ice thrown over your head for charity. Help ! ! ! Is there some intelligent life left out there?
10. Why 18 at all?
steve from Raleigh   (08.26.14)
Their own propaganda shows 12 year olds shouldering an RPG. Well ok then, they're targets too.
11. You are an ill informed idiot Charles Haggerty-
Dina   (08.28.14)
