1. Obviously there was a message to be conveyed and it WAS!
(05.24.16)
2. Search
Shimon ,   London   (05.24.16)
I wonder if this journalist would feel the same if asked to undergo such a security check at a US institution? These security checks are a fact of life and we all have to undergo this. I was pulled over at the airport and taken into a room last month and searched after years of travel to and from Israel. And yes I am Jewish and hold Israeli citizenship. It appears it was an random search and I was happy to undergo it. People need to be a little more mature and realise it's not about them!
3. Search for photographer
Zvi ,   Toronto   (05.24.16)
Another typically behavior of a stupid Israeli security guard with lack of manners when it come foreigners And then complaining why the Israelis have such a negative image
4. Typical arrogance.
BDS   (05.24.16)
5. taking security seriously
Ari G. ,   Afula   (05.24.16)
Yup, Israelis do discriminate when they check you -and I am glad that they do, and that they do it correctly. They probably had reason to suspect the man and that they he refused to cooperate is also suspicious.
6. Clearly another example of the media besmirching the PM!
Jew-C ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (05.24.16)
Clearly the media is against the Prime Minister. (the above was a cynical comment)
7. Such A Principled Man!!!
MadDad ,   Johannesburg RSA   (05.25.16)
I'll bet when he was in Gaza covering Protective Edge he never let his Hamas minders tell him what to write and photograph as that would be an outrage and assault on his principles
8. #4 you wouldn't say that if it was your security on the line
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.25.16)
9. Netanyahu's life is more important than foreign press
C   (05.24.16)
netanyahu's life is under constant threat. his security detail will not expose him to the foreign press. it is as simple as that.
10. The foreign Media has been "Slaming" us for years
MaybeTheyDeserveIT ,   Jerusalem Israel   (05.25.16)
It would be hard to find many Israelis that would have ANY sympathy for the foreign press stationed here including their leftwing Israeli employees who have been feeding hate of Israel to their foreign news agents for years as well...no sympathy search twice !!!
11. They ALWAYS "Slam Israel" Too funny
SoWhatsNew?! ,   Jerusalem Israel   (05.25.16)
That's hardly a headline rather very old news "Foreign Press Slams Israel" that's why there here in the first place ! Enabled by their Leftist Israeli Media "brothers" in crime Most media are corrupt just have to dig a little to find out.
12. Manchester Airport
Mark ,   Israel   (06.06.16)
You should go in the luggage search in Manchester Airport, once you take your belt off and they pull you aside and use a hand dectector and a hand check your trousers full down and your there in your underpants infront of lots of people. So don't complain about a body seach in a private room.
