By Barak Ravid, Haaretz Correspondent: Government to impose sanctions on Al Jazeera's Israel operations
Talkback
Title: Israel believes in freedom of the press Name: Bandar Michaels City: State:
"Israel believes in freedom of the press and in the public`s right to know," As far as it airs Israeli propeganda, doesn`t expose Israeli Crimes in the occupied territories, and as along as it agrees with governmental policies. I personally would have been relieved from hearing Livni or the IDF spokesman who kept on lying on Aljazeera during Gaza war while the pictures on the split screen were showing what was really going on, but unfortunately "the network will have access to only three official spokespeople - those of the Prime Minister`s Office, Foreign Ministry and the Israel Defense Forces". Consequently, we will probably hear more of the same Israeli propeganda.
