Israelis sue Al-Jazeera over reporting during Second Lebanon War

Group of Israelis wounded by rockets claims the Arab news network reported missile strike locations to help Hezbollah improve accuracy.

A group of 91 Israelis wounded by Hezbollah rockets during the 2006 Second Lebanon War is suing the Arab news network Al-Jazeera for $1.2 billion in a New York court for allegedly aiding the Lebanese guerrillas, their lawyer said Tuesday.

Nitzana Darshan-Leitner said the suit, which was filed Monday, claims the Qatar-based news network intentionally violated Israel's military censorship regulations and reported the precise locations of rocket strikes in Israel in live broadcasts during the month-long 2006 war.

The reporting enabled Hezbollah to aim its rockets more accurately at Israeli targets, the suit alleges.

There was no immediate comment from Al-Jazeera.

Hezbollah launched around 4,000 rockets into Israel during the month-long war in 2006. The fighting killed 159 Israelis and 1,200 people in Lebanon.

"Al-Jazeera made itself a crucial component of the Hezbollah rocket offensive.The intent was to assist the terrorists in targeting and killing civilians," said Darshan-Leitner. "Without the assistance of Al-Jazeera's on-the-ground spotters, Hezbollah would have been unable to accurately aim its rockets into Israeli cities."

Israel's military censor prohibited media outlets from reporting the locations of rocket strikes during the fighting, and Israeli police detained Al-Jazeera crews several times for violating the edict and broadcasting real-time information, though no formal charges were ever filed.

The lawsuit was filed on the fourth anniversary of the start of the war.

Haim Kaplan, who was wounded in the first day of fighting and his northern Israel home damaged, said the lawsuit aimed to hold all those connected to the rocket attacks accountable.

"Anyone involved in supporting terror should pay the price and anyone who thinks about doing so should think twice," he said.

Хорошо. Ну выиграют они суд в Нью Йорке. И что? если Аль Джазира не заплатит им то что? Запретят трансляции Аль Джазиры в NYC? чета я сомневаюсь, что в NYC это самый популярный канал.

Аль-Джазира хотела развернуть полноценное ТВ вещание в Штатах через кабельную систему, но не тут то было.

Комитет Древних Сил поднял такой shitstorm через подкотрольные СМИ, хоть химзащиту доставай из шкафа. Эль пособники терроризма, эль купцы смерти, эль исламо-пропагандисты - короче полный букет.

Заодно подключили к компании по демонизации Аль-Джазиры своих шабос гоев из христиан-евангелистов. Те начали бомбить телефоны своих конгрессменов и сенаторов.

Пипец был полнейший.

А в Европе Аль Джазира доступна практически во всех кабельных сетях. Да и в Штатах не имеют права запрещать. Ибо свобода слова... По идее... Должна быть... И не только кошерного слова...
