Inside Story - Olmert faces police probe - 06 May 08

You say that Al jazeera is bias? That may be but pro Israel people like yourself dont complain how News Corp, MSNBC, and other more mainstream news outlets kiss the rear asses of the Israelis, especially with FOXNEWS. Thank god theyre are a couple of news channels like BBC and Al jazeera who arent afraid to tell the truth about what israel's been up to over there.

Most of those same news corporations barely even touch on Israel let alone report what else goes on in the rest of the world. Americans overwhelmingly just don't give a shit and those that do (mostly Evangelical Christians and Jews) are extremely pro-Israel.

Aljazeera is absurd in that its supposed to be Arab media yet it almost never has stories regarding Arab countries like Oman, Saudi, Qatar, Morocco, Sudan, The Emirates, Tunisia, Syria, Jordan, Bahrain, and Algeria.

Al jazeera has a strange fascination with Iarael. Seems like they spend a disproportionate amount of time focusing on Isaeli matters.

The reason probably is that the Israelis have a big mouth just like the US. They claim over there to be a "democracy" and more subject to laws than anyone else around them when in fact thats the opposite.

Al jazeera has a strange fascination with Iarael. Seems like they spend a disproportionate amount of time focusing on Isaeli matters. Perhaps they should analyze the leadership of Yemen or Syria, wait, I forgot, there is no corruption in those countries because the governments are the embodiment of corruption. I would like to see this propogandist channel invest their energies in slanddering and subtlely de-ligitimizing an Arab state. How about Qatar? LOL at this "news."

"This time is more serious than any of the other times"

Hahaha! What a joke Israeli politics is. Actually, the whole society is apparently like that. A Jewish guy that lived there for a while that I know told me that there is an inherent disregard for laws within their society, so disregarding laws is like a national culture. That actually explains a lot, regarding their international behavior, re: Palestine, etc.

Sounds just like America

[jakob0815]

do the israelis censor the internet too?

[lastnymleft]

I don't know about censoring. I know they monitor (like with telephone calls), which is arguably even more nefarious.
