Israel is fully aware of who it's enemies are.

[WayneS]

I feel their pain...

and I don’t care...

[LukeL]

Remember no one has the right to go wherever they feel like it. Liberals have a problem with this.

“Any journalist who enters Gaza becomes a fig leaf and front for the Hamas terror organization, and I see no reason why we should help that.”

I would be pleased and honored to sit and have a beer with this man, heck, I’d even pay for it..

[freekitty]

I agree.

[Sgt_Schultze]

The Times is pining for the good old days when it could send in a reporter like Walter Duranty who lied about famine in the Ukraine in the 30's and extolled the virtues of Stalin. The Times still has Duranty's tarnished Pulitzer among it's treasured jewels.

Israel has it right, no more lying Times "reporters" to act as enemy propagandists.

In the meantime, maybe the NY Times should amuse itself by trying to do a little reporting from Tibet (and see how much access they get)?

[rod1]

They don’t ned to be in Gaza, Green Jacket Guy can tell them all they need to know.

[Jeff Gordon]

The NYT forgets that Hamas has a nasty habit of kidnapping journalists.

[veracious]

Where are those must see pictures about this battle against Hamas? Haven’t seen anything from you for awhile...

[Halfmanhalfamazing]

Sure sure. But in the case of liberal journalists it’s one step worse.

Israel has mucho incentive to keep them out of there because all these liberal activists want to do is blame israel for everything. So why bother?

[Jocko from Canada]

The Times can take its Ha-mas dispatches as well from New York as it would from Jerusalem. If you are to continue to “spin” and lie, you can do it as well from the safety of the US.

Should Israel have to relinquish to this demand, they should impose the villages, towns, and cities close to Gaza , still being hit by Hamas missiles, as restricted headquarters for New York Times representatives (since we can’t call what they do reporting)

[Rick_Michael]

After seeing the lebanon reporting, I sort of understand the reason.

[goldstategop]

Israel's leftist Supreme Court issued an idiotic order that said the Israeli government should allow a limited number of foreign reporters into Gaza. One which thankfully, the government saw fit to ignore.

[Mamzelle]

I oppose this idea. Let’s take up a collection to put lots of NYTs reporters, and CNN and MSNBC reporters in Gaza.

[DesertRhino]

Hamas?,,
Kidnap a NYT reporter? I Doubt it, unless the Times sent a Jewish reporter Hamas would mistake for a spy, instead of one they knew was 100% in the bag for them.

This morning that doofus at Fox was arguing with an Israeli rep about "allowing free access" to the press.

Of course the rep couldn't insult the moron by pointing out that, in the past, "journalists" and their palestinian assistants and interpreters were de facto intelligence agents for the mass murderers.

Not the best way to fight a war, unless you truly don't care about ones's own young men dying on the front.

[McGavin999]

They don’t ned to be in Gaza, Green Jacket Guy can tell them all they need to know.

Heck, they don't even need that, they can just make it up in their office in NYC instead of making it up in Gaza. Nobody would know the difference.
