Israelis sue Al-Jazeera over reporting during Second Lebanon War

and how did Israel lose that war.the other side lost 10 times more people and the south still has not recovered from the devastation.Israel on the other hand took a very short time to move on and rebuild from whatever mess those firecrackers caused.if thats a victory i wold hate to see what a defeat is.

Israel has submarine nukes that could blow hezbollah off the map. One day all these non nuclear powers will learn not to mess with a nuclear power. Olmert and peretz are gone so the next war would be a real war and not olmert ordering soldiers to stay in homes in a small area and waiting for unifil to come in.

You support hezbollah against gay rights who support sudan's butcher bashir. They deny the holocaust. You leftists have joined with hezbollah to launch war against israel. Olmert and peretz are gone so hezbollah would be demolished in any future war. This isn't 2006 anymore with pathetic leftist leaders in charge.

The only reason Israel didn't finish wiping Hezbullah off the planet is because leftists like you got in the way. Please, next time be a human shield in Lebanon.

What intrinsically matters is winning polically.

Hezbollah was on the wrong end of something like a 7:1 kill ratio, got all of its weaponry wiped out, got chased north a couple hundred kilometers to Beirut, hid behind the UN's skirt, and from there declared victory.

4 years now and the drugs haven't kicked in. You still think you won when we had the entire south of Lebanon and over 650 Hezbollah terrorists dead. With your spiritual leader moving from bunker to bunker and your president crying on national TV, and all of this because of an adventure by Hezbollah(which later apologized) and yet your Arab ego still gives you illusions ^_^ just cute and sad at the same time

You make us all laugh. If that was winning for the Arabs, imagine when they lose!

No Zionist settlements being built in Lebanon. : )

Is there a website where I can join the counter class-action suit I'm a US Taxpayer? :D I'd like to sue Israel for comitting human rights abuses with mah moneh..

Is this G. Meir the same Golda Meir that said the following or a different one? "There is no such thing as a Palestinian people... It is not as if we came and threw them out and took their country. They didn't exist." -- Golda Meir, statement to The Sunday Times, 15 June, 1969. "How can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to." -- Golda Meir, March 8, 1969. "Any one who speaks in favor of bringing the Arab refugees back must also say how he expects to take the responsibility for it, if he is interested in the state of Israel. It is better that things are stated clearly and plainly: We shall not let this happen." -- Golda Meir, 1961, in a speech to the Knesset, reported in Ner, October 1961 "This country exists as the fulfillment of a promise made by God Himself. It would be ridiculous to ask it to account for its legitimacy." -- Golda Meir, Le Monde, 15 October 1971

yep, and she was right. Some of those who today call themselves Palestinians are descended from a few scattered towns and villages that had no national identity. They were part of the greater Islamic world under the Ottoman Turks. Many others immigrated to Palestine once economic activity was generated by Jewish immigrants from Europe and then from those thrown out of Arab countries by their local pogroms. Most of the town and village Arabs stayed after the War of Independence. Most of the drifters continued to drift and are now living in Europe or in refugee camps but they call themselves Palestinians instead of the nationality they truly descended from: Yemenites or Iraqis or Egyptians etc. Golda Meir's comment stands. The Palestinian 'people' is a new invention made after the rise of Israel and in direct response to Israel. Prior to 1948, Jews living in Palestine were called Palestinian Jews. That includes those that lived there since time immemorial as well as those that sought refuge there from inhospitable lands in Europe and Muslim countries.

You keep repeating the same lie 100 times, people believe it. Out of the so called 1200 civilians more than 700 were Hezbo terrorists (dressed as civilians of course). But Hezbo controls the government and information and will never reveal the truth. Besides, the Brits incinerated 400000 in Germany in single week of fire bombing. So what's your point anyway?

This is the same Golda Meir and she was 100% right. How many times is it necessary to explain there is no such thing as a Palestinian people? Both ARABS and JEWS who lived under the British mandate in Palestine before 1948 were called PALESTINIANS. There had never been an independent Arab state in the terrtory called Palestine. Gaza strip belonged to Egypt while West Bank belonged to Jordan. Neither Egypt not Jordan want them back. I wonder why? Maybe of the problematic population?

the pals and lebanese sue all those that supply israel with all the destructive weapons used to kill lebs and pals? that sounds even better to me.

Sorry what is palestinian land? there is not such thing.

The rest of the world thinks so, but keep on thinking your good thoughts.

Agreed. There was an Ottoman Turkish empire that was defeated in battle by Britain in the First World War. Churchill took a vast land called Palestine made up of Jews, Druze, Circassians, Hashemites, Bedouin and many other muslims---and gave 75% to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Perhaps 'palestinian' wants the lawsuit to challenge Jordan holding this land? Likely not, he wants to challenge the only tiny part of a vast ocean of Islam that is held by Jews. And why not? They want it all and always have. If they can't win it by sword then by lies. Crocodile tears to the international media.

first u have to have a country coaled Palestine to coll illegal occupation don't u think so?

The W. Bank was part of Jordan and Gaza was part of Egypt. But both those countries couldn't disown the "Pals" quick enough when given the opportunity. Keep repeating the lie...

Else you would have not liked your country destruction. If you were a true iranian you would have told we want peace with Israel and US, we do not war which destroys our both life.

Hope your nation can be victorious against the regime who rules Iran.

We are coming to help liberate you.

saddam! what was it ? i read alot comparing him to hitler. u remember ? what would the world like be if he`s away ? he was a threat to the world ! all the WMD ! wouldnt the world be more safe without him ? who spoke about an uprising iran ? just rediculous.

we can sue american government for put his nose in every country ass in this planet trying to democratize.

Thats just stupid, israelis have bunkers, the arabs in underdeveloped villages dont have. But are still reported as israelis when killed.

Have you actually read Al-Jazeera? The quality of their reporting is extremely good--AND impartial. You're simply used to Israel getting a free ride in the media, due to supporters of Israel owning much of the media.

Is the Israeli press impartial?

of cause u cant tolerate calling of elimination in ur news. but to show the other side is just necessary. if our media would give every dead a sec or 0.1 sec, it wouldtnt be. maybe. but we need a free press, from that everyone feel represented.

I know they have a bias but they still are reputable news station, and their reporters are often in the direct line of fire.

Try watching it for once.. you might chance your mind.

the "soviets" where supplying arms to the Palestinian terrorists, Hasballah in Lebanon got it arms from them, so who is really soviet style??

Don't be stupid. The pary of god (Hezbollah) kidnapped three soldiers don't you recall - that started the war. Don't let facts get in the way of your prejudice. Its not a difficult concept to understand - even for you. Now run a long and let the adults debate the issue.

I must be equally uninformed, I thought it kicked off after the family was murdered on the beach in Gaza. And you reckon it was the soldiers kidnapping. It may have been something totally different of course, what do you think? just curious.

Don't be stupid. Israel started by creating forcing the creation of hizbollah. Second by continuing to occupy part of lebanon.

These clowns believe that Israel started the war because it exists.

Very selective memory you have. The Lebanon war was planned far before there was any soldiers abducted. It is contentious as to whether the soldiers were even on Israeli land they were reportedly in the area of Aïta Al-Chaab in Lebanon. Another Israeli war, this one with most likely has the theft of the Litani River as it's objective. Land theft is a form of addiction in ranks of Israeli politicos.

you have kidnapping innocent lebanese people until two weeks ago . not to mention the ones were already in you jails illegallyso why don't you wait until you grow a little more befor you argue this issue

hizbollah kidnapped some, then a war started.

haven't u heard the best lawyers in the world are jewish, free to Israel;))

the Israeli media simply does not have the means to pay compensations my dear, they live from donations (bakshish) if you know what I mean, just like their government.

Are there any Israeli reporters in Arab countries ? This is actually not funny it is insanity .

How does reporting the news accurately, which is what a news outlet is supposed to do, make them a terrorist mouthpiece? Could it be that reporting the truth about Israel makes you uncomfortable?

This is about moving the news scycle away from the Flotilla incident. Standard Zionist practice. wait four years before suing Al Jazeera for the fact that Hezbollah foired a rocket from Lebanon that hit her car. There is no way that the plaintiff will be able to prove that Hezbollah targetted her car thanks to the intelligence that Al Jazeera was supposedly sending to Hezbollah. Notwithstanding the fact that Israel didn't arrest and charge a single Al Jazeera employee.

Agree.Good story though for internal consumption. And that's about as far as it will go.
