Why don't we all protest?
Why not? Let's group together Anglicans For Israel (who would like to see more coverage on the problems of Christians under pa control) and every other similar group in this country to protest the idiocy that is our media.

It's the BBC not the Guradian
No-one reads the Guardian in the UK but everyone gets his news from the BBC which is every bit as anti-Israel.
Conentrate your fire where it counts.

Dishonesty In Media
There seems to be more dishonesty than honesty in the media today. Not only about Isreal or Jewish issues, but just about any issue you can name. I wonder. Has it always been so?

A personal and national right to defense
All nations and individuals have the right to protect themselves. You will notice also that the biased press will protect itself under the guise of freedom of speech when the light of truth shines on its distortions and lies. Defend yourself and your liberty Israel, you are the only free country in the mid-east

Thank you for sending me the Guardian propaganda/lies
I thank you for sending me the recent example of the Guardian lies and distortions about the truth of the Mid-East situation and why the British public has been deceived about Israel.

It goes deeper than the news
Having lived in both Britain and the US, I can say the problem of demonization of Israel goes even deeper than news coverage. All of popular culture in Britain (and in most of the rest of Europe) takes as given that Israel is a violent, racist, anarchic, unpleasant and dangerous place.

Movies, television programs, novels and other forms of popular culture reflect - and reinforce - this image. Plots in movies, tv and books often revolve around noble Arabs or international aid workers who are brutalized by sadistic Israeli soldiers (who face no censure from the IDF or Israeli society for their terrible actions).

Just as the cold cruel German became a stock character in American and British movies after WWII, the cold cruel Israeli is now a given in European fiction. This is as much a problem as the extremely biased news coverage propogated in Britain.

Fiction allows one to identify with characters. When Europeans "identify" with cruel Israelis in fiction, they internalize this anti-Semitic image in a very primal, personal way.

bravo
What good is new if it is the wrong new: maybe the Guardian needs to ask someone to step down like we asked Dan Rather over his report on President Bush that was erroneous

Desperately seeking objective British media
I share your dismay on the pro-Palestinian bias of British media. We are in the midst of fundraising, and G-d willing close to successful conclusion, to produce a national daily newspaper whose core will be balanced reporting of the Middle East. Life Newspapers' aim will be to emulate the fair and balanced reporting you described from NYT

How much more negative feeback before you recognize a public relations problem
At first, it was a few countries, but now Europe and much of the US, how much more negative press is needed before you recognize a public relations problem.

1. You wanted Abbas, wouldn't deal with Arafat. You convinced a somewhat naive and dogmatic American president you knew best. The Palestinian president (who you chose) has been formally in office perhaps 1 day and already you have terminated relations with him. Does this make sense from a public relations point of view.
2. Five US administations (before George W)had active mediation and things were better in Israel, more tourism, less terrorism, better relations.
3. Don't give up everything, you don't need to agreed to a Palestinia state in 2006, but do negotiate. Why not have an intermediary help smooth things over, and get reciprocal concessions.
4. You left Gaza, how much better would it have been to do so in the context of a peace plan.
5. To paraphrase Abba Eban, Ariel Sharon and the Israeli government will never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
6. Retailiate, take action, but don't terminate peace talks and say you want peace. It's like going into a restaurant and saying I don't want pizza, no pizza. Why do they I don't want any pizza, that's a vicious lie, a gross distortion, typical of a one-sided and biased coverage.

Im sure the Guardian would be pleased to know that you think they are that influencial in Britian. With a compariativly low circulation, im not sure that many people take notice of their views. Im not sure the readers of the Telegraph tend to be your average Guardian reader.

I could not open the first book that I tried,but I was able to open the
coverage by the Guardian of the missile attack. That I found very
important and well-laid-out and wrote to the Guardian about changing
their distorted coverage.

lack of collective conscience
The Guardian reporting seems to be saying that Jews have no blood.I've always said that some media deliberately ignore the important historical fact of non-aggression on the part of Israel.The Guardian team must search its conscience and report events fairly and contribute to global peace instead of encouraging violence.

jealousy - jealousy - jealousy
THE WORLD IS JEALOUS OF THE JEWS BECAUSE OF THEIR BRILLIANCE
AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO SCIENCE - MEDICINE - INDUSTRIAL POWER - LITERATURE AND LEGAL
VIEWS AND OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS
A TRUTH THAT CANNOT BE CHANGED
