When Mideast Journalists are Forced to Keep the News to Themselves

[chromelung4]

America & Israel have more in prisons for non-violent crimes & drug charges than all of China, Russia, India, & Iran combined! India has 1.2 billion. China has 1.3 billion. Israel has 11 million while America has 320 million. Despite being outnumbered 8 to 1, America & Israel have more than 2x more total prisoners. So who's really "FREE"?

Watch the excellent Libya reports from eyewitnesses at the YT channel, "108Morris108". All western news is lying. GlobalResearch has good reporting too.

[chromelung4]

Oh give me a break. There's been at least 300-400 journalists who've been murdered or "sucided" in just America the past 20 yrs. The UK too has had many murders. Let's not forget all the scientists & biologists that US, UK, and Israel have not only murdered by the dozens in their own countries, but 100's from other countries around the world. These men of integrity are murdered because they refuse to reamin silent while elite psychopaths want to depopulate.

[MrNYRfan]

While I am not a fan of the MSM, the suppression of journalism is a direct result of suppression of the people. Where there is no liberty, there will be no truth,

[mirandabone]

Now that's extreme censorship :(

[Shy1aSty1ez]

very imprtant that this info gets out

there because i think too many people

are simply unaware of this going on

[WonderYrs]

not enough is said in the mainstream media about this very real problem, it upsets me so much to see the news waste time talking about celebrity gossip when there are big issues like this getting no coverage

thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video!

[44Jeny44]

what they did in lybia using reporters as human shields is simply unhuman

[Activist4luv]

it really bothers me that these reporters face such harsh treatment

[Old56Ball]

Some one said in the comments that the arab world is more freedom of press but I disagree. Maybe they allow al-jazer (sorry for speeling) to show stuff but a truly free press allows journalists from other countries to collect their own data

[Lawyer5213]

the ssad thing is the journalists don't get the credit they deserve because there aren't enough videos like this getting made

this should be on the news, not donald trump running his mouth

some times the main stream media in the USA is so dissapointing

[MiloTR4]

i don't think I could risk my life like these journalist do

[5friends4me]

sorry typo on my part

should say spread the truth

[5friends4me]

it is really troubling to think about what some of these journalist have to suffer through just to try to spread the turuth

[doBIGthangz2]

some of these images are so hard to look at but it was good to get this information out there so I say kudos to you for making this video

[591Snoopy]

world press freedom day is an important event

[myspaceFOOLA]

I think it is the media manipulators that are some of the biggest threats to the truth out there

[3Franky3]

very well produced, I like the chain link fence graphic

[SoccaMom5]

freedom of the press is so vital to society

[ElginB4me]

I tip my hats to the brave men and women who put their lives at risk to report the truth to the world, great vid

[1981Mrxela]

free speach -religion down!

[kingF35]

first of all i like the video its nice . Iam palestinian and i know that israel (IDF) was always trying to shut journalists mouth. so my question is why you dnot put israel in this video ?

we have many videos on youtube show us how israeli forces shoting and killing

journalists and you can find their names and photos (israel killed many journalists in gaza and west bank) i mean whole palestine .......

thnx for sharing me your ideas

[EmilyGreene1984]

@kingF35 But Palestine is also trying to shut journalists mouth when it comes to the atrocities committed by Palestinians. So your side is equally to blame.

[menschitup]

Media must be allowed to report what's going on in a country, Israel does a great job of upholding this democratic right

[newworldordernow100]

Journalists from The Palestinian Journalist Syndicate are regularly searched, detained and arrested by the IDF....I wonder why that didn't make it into the video?

[moe45673]

@newworldordernow100 You have some reputable sources to back that claim up?

[WahhabiGuy]

@moe45673

Check out democracynow for many cases

[EmilyGreene1984]

@WahhabiGuy Democracy Now has been proven to be a biased news station that reports news from a socialist/marxist/anarchist standpoint. You can see from their reportings and their condemnation of anyone who has different opinions from them. Even Amy Goodman the host has been proven to be sympathetic to known terrorists and criminals.

[Adar26]

@newworldordernow100 Well, perhaps when "Palestinians" (though there is no such thing as the country Palestine) have been sending bombs, rockets, homicide bombers etc. I would think it would be wise to search and then detain and arrest if necessary. The difference here is that the IDF is looking for specific terrorist activity, where the other countries in the middle east are brutally torturing journalist trying to keep the truth out!! That's why it didn't make the video!

[WahhabiGuy]

@Adar26

By denying that Palestinians don't exist you are a bigot. The way Zionists cry when people deny Israel's right to exist you are huge hypocrite. 

How are Palestinian journalists terrorist? This is pure fear mongering. Let's raise the alert level again!!!

Why don't you come up with something intelligent to say instead of wasting everyone's time here

[NotAgain90]

@newworldordernow100 They are searched to see if hey are carrying weapons and/or explosives - not unreasonable supposition considering the history of PA ambulances transporting "militants" (a.k.a. terrorists) through checkpoints... Important thing is that if they are not found carrying weapons and/or explosives or reporting from restricted areas, they are released and their equipment is not confiscated or harmed.

[WahhabiGuy]

The only thing that is consistent is the Israeli oppression of Arab media within Israel and the PA territories. The Israeli government frequently issues gag orders against embarrassing stories against Israel, case and point Israel's rapist president. Zionists will constantly use the token example of a handful of Arab MK's and Arab newspaper which are only there to give the Zionist regime a few talking points to spew to all of their supporters.

[MrOleg174]

Great video! Thank you for sharing.

[ForbiddenFruitMedia]

This highlights the consistent practice of the Palestinian Authority to shut down any dissent brought up by the people and media. The same goes for Iran, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain Yemen and others. Why is that the United Nations and and other countries have not put any pressure on these regimes?

[WahhabiGuy]

@ForbiddenFruitMedia

Absurd!! 

[2MILFS4u]

nicely edited, great message, enjoyed this alot

[2CmeRollin]

very well done, I'm going to share this to try and help get the message out

[EzelWASH4]

it is troubling to see that even in this day and age, we don't really have a true free press every where because journalists are simply prevented from telling the true stories in some of these places

wonderful video

[WahhabiGuy]

@EzelWASH4

Arab countries have a much freer press than in the West. The White House routinely subdues news stories and cry "National Security".

[BillSimmonsBook]

I had no idea that some of this was going on. Great video, thanks for bringing this to light.

[GettinFit2010]

Enjoyed this video. Its nice to see this information getting out there.

[Phillmont]

this was an important video that needed to get made

[Kurtlane]

It's like that all over the MIddle East. Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia and the rest - all the same.

Except for one little country: Israel. Which is why it gets all the garbage from the media.

[p058720235]

Guys I need help:

I would like to share this video with all my friends but it looks like the "share" option does not have "All friends" option like in the passed.

Does any one have an idea how to share with all friends?

[RnBramwell]

Under Saddam H in Iraq, NYT journalists carefully avoided reporting the truth. Walter Duranty (again of NYT) mis-reported the deaths from starvation & pogroms of Communist Russia, weakening American understanding & rejection of Communism & extending its popularity. Thousands more Iraqis & Russians died because journalists gave Hussein & communism moral impunity.

Journalists MUST report the truth, but MUST also look after their own lives. Some should work like professional spies.

[WahhabiGuy]

@RnBramwell

Well said RN. Finally some voice of reason on a page of blind Zionist reason.

[RnBramwell]

@WahhabiGuy Not sure what you mean by "blind Zionist reason".

a) Reason is not possible if it is blind (the 'scales of justice' signify unbiased judgment, not blind judgment), b) not particular to a race, religion (Zionism) or creed, but can occasionally emerges on certain issues. Sometimes the right conclusion appears for the wrong (irrational) reasons. Israel is a largely free and democratic nation, but flawed by religious judgments. It should be saved for the former not for the latter.

[eyedrive3]

It is important that the world has a chance to see the barbarity visited upon innocent journalists, foreign and domestic, who are simply doing their jobs--opening a window to the world to the brutality used against the telling of the truth. The irony is so many of the same world's journalists do not hesitate to condemn Israel--when Israel is one of the few (only?) countries that allows them to write the truth--even when that news is skewed against Israel. Wake up world, before it is too late.

[ForbiddenFruitMedia]

A very important narrative to hear. You guys did a great job highlighting the failure of many countries in the Mideast to project domestic and international journalists and their continued failure to have a free and open media.

Why is it that that these countries have to continually suppress the media?

[dallas998]

@ForbiddenFruitMedia And equally important, why do these regimes and so many Western apologists buy into the distraction that this is solely the fault of the Western world?

[RnBramwell]

@ForbiddenFruitMedia For a gov't to remove Individual Rights:

1st─supply EDUCATION for 'common good', then control it to teach leaders' goals

2nd─control money & ECONOMY: set medium of exchange, replace gold with paper, ban gold as money

3rd─tax & spend to redistribute wealth for political gain, to ENGINEER SOCIETY & buy votes

4th─add gov't media to help #3, to promote statist ideas, to BAN HATE speech,

5th─ban opposition speech; BAN OPPOSITION.

[Shy1aSty1ez]

@RnBramwell

well said

[RnBramwell]

@Shy1aSty1ez Thanks.

I heard number two somewhere else. Later, when I studied Education at U of Toronto, I saw that Education was always the first: control ideology and the rest will follow.

All five can be seen across history and around the World. So three to five were easy to *observe*.
