1. Running Foreign Media
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (06.09.16)
If you want editorial control, you need to buy a majority interest in the stock of the private corporations who own the media in the US. That might be problematic for state-owned media in Britain. Not all private people see everything in Israeli right wing terms. As Reagan said, "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." A reason there has never been international agreement on even a definition of terrorism. Israel has killed a substantial number of Palestinians recently and made hundreds more homeless, some in questionable circumstances.
2. #1
JtC ,   Nir Eliyahu/Jhb   (06.09.16)
Pearl Harbour was just an aerial incident involving some Japanese freedom fighters. 9/11 was just another aerial incident involving Al Qaeda opposed freedom fighters. WASP Americans are just illegal colonists and don't belong in North America. Same goes for White Europeans in all the lands they illegally invaded.
3. CNN is owned by saudi fund.
Avi L.   (06.09.16)
While CNN is owned by saudi fund, BBC and other media are dependent from "oil" advertising, share control and politician oil/immigration/terror blackmail.
4. honest reporting
Dan Frank ,   Montreal Canada   (06.09.16)
These who come to Israel to report dishonestly should have their press credentials revoked.
5. Ban CNN and BBC from Israel
YK ,   ISRAEL   (06.09.16)
Again CNN and BBC show their true face, the face of deception and lies. Ban them from Israel.
6. This is why FOX NEWS is # 1
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (06.09.16)
CNN ( The Communists News Network) the BBC ( Building Bull Contest ) are anti semitic pro palestinian rags they might as well be cheer leaders for the Islamic terrorists. Only FOX NEWS tells it like it is. The rest of the yellow rags are only good for wrapping old fish or wiping dirty windows. KEEP BUILDING !!
7. Just call it war.
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (06.09.16)
A war the Arab pals are paid to keep active any way they can and by whatever means other than negotiating with Israel which is why they can never win and why Israel can never lose. KEEP BUILDING !!!
8. There might be 2 reasons
Moshe ,   Israel   (06.09.16)
For the blatant distortions of the facts by the news outlets mentioned in the article : 1) They have been bribed to act this way by a rich Arab country, or several states, like Saudi Arabia or Qatar. 2) They know that if their news coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will be impartial, their moves in the Arab world is likely to be restricted, or even banned at all. By contrast, in the Israeli democracy, they can smear the host country to their liking, and face no sanction. Is it not time for the Israeli authority to do more than protest ?
9. Oh shut up israel
Gregory Moscatelli ,   Haifa   (06.09.16)
Someone farting is a terror attack for you The world stopped listening to your non stop ranting about terror. Terror is organised and terrorists belong to cells so until you'll prove which cell they come from and who gave them the order, they're not terrorists. Innocent until proven guilty. Have you ever heard about that? Oh no I forgot you're a third world country with third world justice system
10. Murdering civilians IS terrorism
Amit ,   Beersheba, Israel   (06.09.16)
What a surprise - Ynet's resident troll "Mark ben Josef" doesn't think it's terrorism when Jews / Israelis are murdered for nationalistic reasons. The definition of terrorism is easy - regardless why an attack is carried out - attacking civilians IS terrorism. The UN hasn't agreed on a definition because it supports terrorism against Israelis / Jews, just like "Mark ben Josef" - nice pseudonym by the way - unless you actually are a self-hating Jew
11. FB Christopher Linthwaite:
A ,   Belgium   (06.09.16)
" What happened in Tel Aviv is a continuation of the 1967 war". Good point! And since it was Israel who was attacked by islamics, it's time for Israel to finish the job and get rid of the "palestinian" parasites once and for all.
12. Manipulating Media
tiki ,   belgium   (06.09.16)
Terror against Israeli's & Jews is no terror. It's deserved punishment for existing! Israel would be sensible to evoke their license and throw these manipulators out! Guarantee they will change their "Breaking News" blares!
13. #3 owned and run by Americans. John Martin and Daniel Levy

14. Amit from Beersheba
Gregory Moscatelli ,   Haifa   (06.09.16)
Exactly. Attack on civilians is terrorism. Israel and the IOF should know exactly what you're talking about
15. # 14 It is about time you understand
Moshe ,   Israel   (06.09.16)
The difference between attack and defense. When IDF sets roadblocks or detains Palestinians to prevent terror attacks on its citizens, these are acts of defense. When your blood thirsty Palestinians murder innocent civilians, these are acts of attack.
16. All those news services should be held accountable.
DOV ,   USA   (06.09.16)
17. FB Howard Aubrey :"The occupation is the terrorism".
A ,   Belgium   (06.09.16)
Really now? Over 80% of the armed conflicts taking place in the world today involve islam and or/moslem nations., and fortunately, invlove molems killing each other The only "occupation" taking place is the islamic occupation of kill, kill, kill.
18. 1 Mark the manipulator
C   (06.09.16)
the media is supposed to report the truth regardless of who owns any particular news outlet. news reporting must not be confused with editorials. everyone knows what terrorism is. everyone knows that the daily carnage in syria, iraq, afghanistan, is terrorism. muslims claim that murdering jews is not terrorism. some westerners havo adopted the muslim narrative. they have not learned the lessons of attacks perpetrated by muslim terrorists against the west. the west has lost its identity.
19. Ynet pot calling the kettle black......
History nut ,   Israel   (06.10.16)
Misleading headlines??? "Taleb Mahmara, uncle of the two terrorists, was a fighter for the Tanzim terror organization and participated in a shooting attack which killed four Israelis south of Hebron in 2002." This comes from your article headline about the uncle "in jail." In jail for what..... murder.
20. The word terrorism lost meaning
(06.10.16)
when Israel started to call attacks on its soldiers "terrorism".
21. CNN The Communist News Network
(06.10.16)
22. Gregory Moscatelli
Amit ,   Beersheba, Israel   (06.10.16)
Good you agree that attacks on civilians are terrorism. Technically if they're carried out via standard military means (air strikes, artillery, etc.) by the armed forces of a sovereign state (e.g. Syria), they're called war crimes, but you can call it terrorism if you want to. I think you made a typo - you mean the IDF - good luck prosecuting the "IOF". Like you said in comment 9 - innocent until proven guilty - in a fair & impartial "trial", not a kangaroo court of tyrannical Muslim states (UN HRC), so that means we're also agreed that the IDF are innocent of any charges, until PROVEN otherwise.
