Re: I would like to argue something pretty important to me.
I've been misunderstood... no probs there.
What I meant was, that I think all (or, a very very very high percentage) suicides and murders on a nationalist basis are Muslim related.
@RF: Are you telling me the Israeli media are liers? I thought it was rated low because you are not permitted to talk about security stuff freely, and for a good reason. Could you imagine if someone found out lets say how many soldiers there are in the IDF (Which by the way is confidential material, and no one apart from I think the Cheif of Staff and some MP's know about), and spoke it out so people (or, better - enemies such as Hizballah related people) heard it and passed it on... A war would break out immediately (if for instance there are a low ammount of soldiers for instance).
I think that is why it is said that Israels media is not rated so high in Free Press. Not because it's rubbish what they say, but simply as a precaution for Israels security.
Re: I would like to argue something pretty important to me.
At reporters without borders the index for 2004 said that Israel was 36th/115th wrt israeli/occupied territories :unsure:
You've got 2003, rat'.
Re: I would like to argue something pretty important to me.
Its only with regard to the occupied Territories that the Press is not allowed to report what they wish to.
It is a ranking of Press Freedom, not what they report.
This does not mean they are, or are not, liars.
Just that all the reports are biased by the Government, therefore look elsewhere for the facts... such as Finland, Netherlands, Iceland or Norway.. all ranked No 1

Hey RF, mistakes happen, no probs, accept your apology :)
Anyway, i think that my previouse post still apllies :)
Re: I would like to argue something pretty important to me.
do you hear about when isreali soldiers kill palestinian kids in the streets, be it accidental or not? did you hear about the british reporter who was shot in the head while waving a white flag?
Re: I would like to argue something pretty important to me.
It's problematic having people post same time you do isn't it..? :lol:
Anyway, I don't think you will find anymore info. about the Territories anywhere else in the world.
The press can't post what they want for security reasons, and I think you can all understand and accept that.
That is why they are ranked so low in the Freedom thingy table..

Re: I would like to argue something pretty important to me.
Yes, we heard al saw al of that on the news.
Just yesterday we saw how an Israeli soldier headbutted a Palestinian demonstrator against the wall being built. He was suspended.
We see all we can see. You cannot see more than you need to here.

An admirable job of misrepresentation there Lynx, you are to be commended.

Where are your examples? Or is this just another of your swings in the dark?
