Q,  No! because IRI

Q, 

No! because IRI being "bad" (to say it as mildly as possible), is the main reason for Iran's destrcution, instability in the Middle East (including the Israeli Arab conflict), instability in the world, rise of Islamic fundamentalism and clash of civilizations.
So tackling IRI should be and is the central issue the world needs to focus on.

Kaveh jaan, absolutely right.

Q

As much as Mr. Kashani may sound like a broken record to you (or since this is 2009, a CD that skips), he does have a point concerning the IRI. After all, the IRI is the primary financier of both Hamas and Hezbollah.

How do you think these recent events would be playing out had this not been the case? Syria's financial support amounts to money for parking meters by comparison, and they have closer ties to the land and the people, exponentially more so than the IRI.

Kashani, why are you changing the subject?

can you think of anything besides talking about how bad IRI is?

This guy truly thinks he

This guy truly thinks he can fool people! Here's a question for you: how many reporters working for Israeli media are allowed to report from Iran??? Are you gonna answer that?how many Iranian reporters are allowed to bash the head of state Khamenei like Israeli reporters do to their heads of state?

How come you're not putting lack of freedom of expression in Iran in "........." quotation marks????

this is a trumped up charge

it's obvious. They are lying about how important this information was.

SOOO sensitive that they tell Journalists in the first place but JAIL them if they report on it?

Why didn't they just wait to give out the information?

How responsible is IDF if they actually gave out top secret information to journalists?

That's why it is a lie. Zion always defends Zionist lies.

Zion(ist), real jounalist must not follow censorhip laws by IDF

I agree with you one hundred per cent that media , especially online media, is a lot freer in Israel than ANY country in the Middle East, although the Israelis imagine themselves to be in the West! I posted this item from Haaretz.com on Jan. 5. The issue is IDF is an un-elected Nazi-like outfit that has created press laws and "administrative" laws taken right out of the British Mandate colonial/military occupation "laws" and rammed down the throats of everyone, especially the foreign press to stop information about the IDF atrocities to reach the world public. A major section of these IDF "laws" focus on blocking, hindering or slowing down the news gathering and disseminating to the public domestic or foreign. Aferall It is true you can write about anything and everything in Israel, but the IDF can put the cabash on any news agency just by classifying anything as a "military secret". Afterall who wants his/her picture shown all over shooting and killing people? These so-called laws have no validity and since Israel does not have a Constitution (Israel says is has something it calls the Basic Law), there are no effecective ways to fight these "laws". The only higher power is the Supreme Court which has routinely sided with the IDF using the worn out excuse of the "security" considerations.

My point is that respectable journalists, Israeli or non-Israeli, MUST do their best to defy these IDF mandates and bring the news of IDF atrocities and war crimes to the public. I am not arguing whether Israel has the right to defend itself, I strongly believe it does, but IDF must be prevented from killing as many Palestinians in the shortest time possible. If IDF is committing war crimes, and I am sure it is, the world has to have solid record of those crimes because heads should roll on both sides.

Happy cheerleading for the Zionists, dear.

for once I agree with Zion!

the fact that they allowed an Iranian media guy there, shows they are more tolerant ... I doubt IRI would allow any Israeli media guy.

What's The Big Deal?

Iranians complaining about the suppression of the press?

Complain about journalistic and editorial suppression in Iran first. Make sure to eat first.....the effort will cause you to work up an appetite.

For those of you who believe that you know the whole story of what goes on in Iraq and Afghanistan, believe me when I tell you that you don't. Soldiers who were there will tell you firsthand that what has been packaged for general press release and what actually has happened are as different as day and night, and for security reasons.

Information

The confidential information in question was about the ground assault. Of course you might have known the exact date and time of that by your psychic powers Cyrus_, but Hamas is not in possession of you and your resources yet.

It was a known fact from the start

When Israeli foreign affairs minister shook hand with Hozni Mobarak in Cairo 2 days before the air assault, I and millions of others knew that the Israeli attack on innocent people of Gaza is imminent.
So what is this passing the confidential information all about ?
for the past 3-4 weeks of the attack the world media was filled with one sided Israeili media mis-information and most people if not all knew that something is about to happen.
Israel had planned it so that she would carry out the attack when people around the world were busy celebrating the Christmas and they took advantage of it.
And CNN has just admitted that Israel broke the ceasefire, not the Hamas.

zion Iranian gvt says the same thing !!!

!!!

Agents

He used his position as a journalist to effectively relay confidential information about military movements and positions to Hamas, in clear breach of the security codes. It has nothing to do with freedom of press in Israel. Israel has one of the freest press in the world, as this current situation has proved many times already. How many Israeli newspapers have you guys been citing here whenever it pleased your ideologies?
