1. All these "stories" are a prelude to destruction of Israel
Alan ,   SA   (10.31.14)
Just like stories in Der Shturmer in the 1930s
2. Sylogism
double standard ,   Israel   (10.31.14)
The jurnalist Iemini thinks that if the other countries ara racist and our country just a little. We are not racist.
3. Rula Jebreal
Alberto ,   Herzliya   (10.31.14)
She has been a well known Palestinian activist journalist in Italy; she was born in Israel but she represented herself as a Palestinian. Following her unsuccess as journalist she disappeared from italian TV talkshow. It seems that she is looking for a new visibility abroad...
4. Excellent article
Jacob Mendlovic ,   Toronto, Canada   (10.31.14)
5. Western Media is afraid of Islam and the
Tova ,   Canada   (10.31.14)
millions of muslins living in the west. They assume that by promoting hatred towards Israel the Islamic countries will protect them. The Western countries no longer can hold on to their countries. Europe will become Islam in the next years and then cry to Israel for help while at the same time condeming Israel and promoting hatred towards Israel. Politicians like Obama would have no problem in converting Americans to Islam.
6. You're so right, Ben Dror Yemini
Shalom ,   Jerusalem   (10.31.14)
I hope you'll never give up your efforts to reveal these lies to the world. The people of Israel needed someone like you years ago, and God bless you for your sacred work on this issue.
7. Very well said...
JtC ,   Nir Eliyahu/Jhb   (10.31.14)
Nothing more too add really...except that to those of us who have been following news about Israel and the Jewish world for many years, this its sadly not very new. Antisemitism never went away, it simply kept low while the world was still in its feeling sorry for the Jews phase. Now that the holocaust generation has almost died out, it's fashionable to hate the Jew again, Israel of course being the Jew country...
8. IT IS OBVIOUS :
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (10.31.14)
Europe is fast sinking into oblivion .Praise The Lord. It can not happen to a nicer bunch of jew-haters.
9. HAVE NO FEAR
tTEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (10.31.14)
Opinions do NOT matter .Opinions do NOT count. The only opinion which matters is the opinion of Almighty Hashem. Others can take a hike....
10. Steve Loeb, FB, very good idea
CJK   (10.31.14)
11. newspapers and the truth
allan feldhammer ,   Seattle U.S.A   (10.31.14)
The times or any other paper today reports it's agenda and nothing else. This is the same for radio and TV. The facts or anything relating to facts are not in mainstream media of any sort.
12. The Guardian is shocking....
Adam ,   London   (10.31.14)
It has been spreading bias and outright lies against Israel for at least the last 10 years
13. The western media
Moshe ,   Israel   (10.31.14)
I wonder whether it are, inter alia, hefty donations from rich Arab countries that turn prominent western media outlets to distort the reality about Israel.
14. this just in: news outlets have agendas

15. RACIST BRITAIN
EZEKIAL HAIM ,   LONDON UK   (10.31.14)
I have lived in the UK for over 40 years.I have personally experienced many racist incidents against me randomly in the street and professionally from people that I have worked with .Some of these incidents are in fact documented as racist and anti-semitic slurs against me in typed letters.There has been official investigations in Britain that concluded that UK institutions are institutionally racists and these are recorded facts.Successive governments in the UK have passed repeated anti racism acts to try to combat these phenomena but racism is inbuilt in the society here and is very hard to eradicate.In my opinion Britain idsone of the most racist societies in the world which i attribute to their constitution which places certain sections of society above others.The Guardian and for that matter should look in the mirror first.
16. Surpreme irony
Daniel   (11.01.14)
Complaining that foreign media has looked at racism in Israel, most of the comments here are racist, with strong attacks on Britain, the US and of course on Muslims. It's as stupid as when Muslims took to violence cause they were angry the Pope said Muslims were violent. Israel is NOT a racist country, but there ARE racists in Israel. And they seem to be particularly active writing comments on the Internet attacking everybody else. No wonder foreigners get the impression Israel is racist.
