BBC crew held by Israeli soldiers
Three BBC journalists were held at gunpoint for four hours by Israeli troops in the West Bank on Thursday.

The television crew was accompanying a Palestinian doctor as he visited an elderly patient in the city of Nablus.

The five were then held by seven Israeli soldiers who had taken over the woman's home, the BBC said.

1. DISGUSTING
A physician making a house call.
A news crew covering the story.
Held by the IDF on WHAT grounds?
Granny had knitting needles?
The doctor had a stethascope?
WHAT?

I am so sick of my tax dollars funding thugs.

11. WHAT the FUCK is THAT?
Did my tax dollars pay for that monstrosity?

I can't take it anymore.
It is far too embarrassing to be a 'murikkkan these days.

13. They have also been caught trying to portray Palestinians as terrorists.
Remember the hooded so-called "Hamas" terrorist photographed with the star of David around his neck?

12. The Sharon government has always been faceist.
Nothing new here. I'm surprised they didn't just execute them on the spot. My bad attitiude is because I think Israeli troops should be in Iraq. They are no more hated than we are now, and ultimately this whole war on terror is their war.

18. Why? Can you support your comment
or is it just fun to break wind and to run away for cover, leaving the rest of us to inhale it?

17. Because they walked into undercover operation
or was this too much to include in your post?

It was only the next paragraph:

"Israeli military sources said the journalists had walked into an undercover operation and were held so as not to expose the mission."

Let's remember that no foreign journalist or other visitor has been captured and beheaded in the Palestinians territories.

22. Those Facists lie about any and all things.
It is disgusting, and an embarrasment to many Jewish Americans who have a cerebral desire to support Israel.
