Journalists in the America are held to standards, why is this not the case in the UK? It seems to be me one can just publish any hate filled rant against Israel if you have been bought by the Arabs.

Answer 1

It’s a sign of the times and all prophesied… and the sheeple are falling into the trap… This is just the beginning, as the hatred and jealousy of Israel will spread world wide. Only one will stand with Israel and I will be part of that one…

Answer 2

Don't like criticism? Are you right wing American? Because that's their default position. If you dare criticise American actions, you must be anti American.



Criticising Israel does not make you anti Semitic in exactly the same way. You cannot be anti Semitic by criticising a country for it's actions; anti Semitism would mean criticising Jews for being Jews.



If Israel continues to act like a self appointed judge, jury and executioner to its own people, and Palestinians are Israel's own people, it should expect to continue to be criticised by other nations; and indeed, people within Israel.



Journalists in the UK are held to standards; can't imagine what you think is wrong with either of those articles. Especially the one written by a former Israeli soldier. I'd love your opinion on how a Jewish former member of the Israeli Army could be an anti-Semite. Would that mean he hates himself too?



Is it anti Semitic to point out that the nation in contravention of more UN resolutions than any other nation, more than Saddam Hussein allegedly breached to cause invasion and deposition, is Israel. Those nuclear weapons you don't have? Pretty mass destruction there, eh? Remember that nuclear scientists name that you lot held in prison for apparently telling lies about a 'definitely not' nuclear missile programme that he was part of? Mordecai Vanunu? Ring any bells? I'd love to know how your country gets to have nuclear weapons illegally when others don't. Could it be because you've got the US in your pocket?

Answer 3

Would you call someone who criticizes corrupt and sinister activities of the US Administration....anti-American? Or would you not say: "that person is exercising her freedom of speech in a desire to inform the public of said criminal activity"? In my eyes, that individual who stands up and dares to speak the truth with evidence, is more compassionate, more concerned and more involved in creating an informed public than a person who simply believes the televised version of things (which many here agree 'is censored and dummied-down').



One needs to understand more about the motives of the cabal who decide foreign and domestic policy. Never be afraid to discover just what is the motivation behind US foreign policy....because it impacts everyone.



Probably one of the most revealing video clips of behind the scenes covert US operations is found in this ten minute video titled:

"Confessions of an Economic Hit-Man". John Perkins talks about how the American Administration sees the role of Israel as nothing but a stronghold/a fortress that secures US/British oil interests in the area.

I don't know about 'the America' but generally media tells you what they want, based on their agenda. Give up any illusion of integrity and if you're referring to the US, the US media is far worse than the UK. UK is not along in being racist. Anti-Semitism is all over. The world hates Israel!

Answer 5

Airing some of Israel's dirty laundry is not the same thing as anti-Semitism. And did you read the story about the Israeli Army officers who are being disciplined for using white phosphorus shells in Gaza (a war crime)?

Answer 6

It's a shame you think that way. You have been bought by the Israeli propaganda by the looks of things. Journalists in America can't all be tarred with the same brush but the majority follow the media line which refuses to criticise Israel. How can you possibly think that truth = anti-semitism?



You should celebrate the fact that there is free speech and baulk at the totalitarianism that is currently arising in Israel.



Incidentally even your rich Arabs side with the Israeli's in ignoring the plight of millions of Palestinians who are denied basic human rights in the occupied territories.



Think again. It's money that talks...via the media in the hands of the few, the pro Israel lobby and the oil rich states like Saudi Arabia.



Call this a hate filled rant if you wish but you couldn't be more wrong and should take the time to read a balanced version of what's going on in the world.

Answer 7

I am sorry to hear that the states has similar censorship of the truth as china.

I didn't realise they were so backward over there.

In the uk we do not let racist or religious lies be published without censure, but we are fortunate (apparently) in being a country which still allows the truth to be published without the secret police knocking at the door and carting you away, never to be seen again.

Answer 8

There is a huge difference in being antisemitic and telling the truth. If the Israelis behaved in a civilised way then the Times and Guardian would have nothing to criticise them for. If all Israelis where Christan or even Muslims it would make no difference. Its not their religion that is being criticised its their actions. The media in the US are mainly owned by the Zionists who never criticise Israel no matter what they do. As for the "lies" can you prove that they are in fact lies but just something you do not like to read. Its called in Britain the truth.In the US its called censorship.

Answer 9

The truth is embarrassing i gather and i read about mossad a few years ago, and they are a state sponsored terrorist organisation.

What about Israel getting the USA to remove Saddam Hussein, and what about the attempt to get the USA to attack Iran?

And what about this man Tony Blair acting on behalf of a foreign state, when he helped remove Saddam, and is trying to get the USA to attack Iran.

how is he getting away with it?

Answer 10

Jews have a special place on this earth and many hold a special place in the hearts of the people of all beliefs and religions of this world.

Hitler is a prime example and had a special place for them.

Muslims have the same regard for them.

Basically they are just a bunch of gypsies with nuclear power taking over America and the middle east.

Answer 11

Judaism, Christianity and Hinduism can be criticised in the UK press but there is never any criticism of Islam.The media has encouraged Islamic extremists to believe they are free attack Jews on British streets.

Answer 12

I think you will find that criticism against the modern State of Israel is called 'freedom of speech' and that it is completely different to anti-semitism.



Fantastic how short you yanks' memories are. You only got involved in WW2 after the invasion of Pearl Harbor, where were you when Hitler was deporting Jews? Oh, you were appeasing him that's right!!

Answer 13

It is not antisemitic to criticise the actions of the powers that be in Israel! The first link is to an article written by a serving officer about his personal observations and experiences. Your suggestion that anyone who raises queries or criticisms regarding the actions of Israel, in Palestine, Lebanon and throughout the region, is somehow an arab stooge is ludicrous!

Answer 14

Perhaps you would care to explain just what you see as antisemitic in those articles?



On the off chance you're willing to back up your libellous accusations, please note that antisemitism is prejudice towards and hatred of Jews. That is Jews as a whole, all 15 million of them around the world. It is does NOT include legitimate criticism of the actions of the government of Israel, a country that contains barely over one third of the total world population of Jews.



So it's over to you, are you up to the challenge of proving your accusations, or are you going to slink off and hide?

Answer 15

Two articles. One written by an Israeli Jew, the other an objective article about what israel does to protect itself. To call either one anti semitic is absurd. As for lies, I disagree. I rather hope the Israeli Gov't is doing all it can, to protect itself from its enemies!

Answer 16

How is it anti-semitic?Israelis are responsible for this, not Jews as a whole.You're the one being anti-semitic.The politics and appalling actions of the state of Israel is Israel's responsibility.Why blame the world's Jews for what they do?Both articles were factual.

Answer 17

Journalists in the America are held to standards



the Jews own american media and politicians......standards have nothing to do with it

Answer 18

It's open season on Jews, but say one word out of line where muslims are concerned and you'll feel the weight of sharia law. This is now Englanabad a former British colony.

Answer 19

It goes to show that UK has matured democracy and is not ruled by Jews . or democracy is not financed by Jews

Answer 20

They have freedom unlike the USA.

Answer 21

They do it to keep the Moslems happy

and the liberals anti semites.

So many haters of Jews and the Brit

government does nothing to stop it.
