1. Stupidity
Michael ,   Haifa   (06.21.15)
Clearly there are no boundaries to the extent of the stupidity of our Government and its agencies
2. Cartoon
Joe ,   Israel   (06.21.15)
Why should the press complain - Oh I get it, they can't stand the truth being told. After all, the press reporting from Gaza has "All the news that's printed to fit." Put the cartoon back. It's about time that people saw the truth about the "Unbiased Press."
3. It hurts the journalists because it's true.
Deborah ,   JerusalemIsrael   (06.22.15)
4. Videos like that should absolutely hold in the media
Peete ,   Berlin / Germany   (06.22.15)
The reactions of foreign journalists shows only that the even-handed video is absolutely justified!! The Foreign Ministry must withdraw its ban for videos like that because the huge crowd of journalists ill-disposed towards Israel are only best contradicted satirizing them with their false assertions.
5. JOURNALISTS HYPOCRACY . . . WINS AGAIN. . . AND AGAIN
CONNIE MACK ,   CAMDEN   (06.22.15)
Most Respected Readers and Editors: Liberals, Terrorists and Journalists so often seek to immunize themselves against the very tools, instruments, legal weapons and invasive ammunition that they themselves recruit and employ against their adversaries, opponents and enemies. Liberals and journalists preach, profess, launch crusades and zealously defend everybody’s right to print and say whatever they wish. They insist that the basic rights of Man afford one the entitlement to deride, ridicule, suggest unflattering indictments, distort facts and invade the privacy of another person as long as it is not an outright lie whose intent is to slander rather than to inform. Terrorists actively kidnap, dismember, assassinate, torture and mutilate targeted populations or send agents or impoverished youth to perpetrate atrocities. When apprehended, they cry out that their rights have been violated. Behold, fellow citizens of the literate world. “"Open your eyes about Gaza," quickly drew condemnation from the Foreign Press Association (FPA) in Israel, whose members were offended at what they saw as a mockery of their coverage during last year's Operation Protective Edge in Gaza.” (a cut and paste from the above article) The right to free speech does not entitle Israel to expose international journalists’ pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli bias and propaganda. LETHAL ROCKETS ARE FINE BUT CARTOON ELICITS RIGHTEOUS RAGE. The menu in the restaurant of journalist cuisine specifically points out in bold, italicized print that the free speech meal is for journalists, liberals and terrorists only. Jews and Israelis will not be served . . . or even allowed into the restaurant. Let one thing be clear, beyond ambiguities or doubt. I solemnly believe that one who consistently shouts about police brutality and government abuses of civil rights is entitled to turn to the police and prosecutors for protection when in danger and to file a criminal complaint after being injured, assaulted, victimized or robbed. cm

All news fitted to print..... I agree print the cartoon. One should learn to laugh at themselves, even 'journalists' for lack of a better word, or better journalists.
