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.

This could get really interesting.
The DOiJ (Department of inJustice) will oppose the Israelies. Not kidding, no joke. Count on it.
Was that Al-Jazeera or the New York Times? Either one would have proudly done the same thing.
A group of Israelis wounded by rockets fired by Hezbollah from Lebanon are suing a Qatar-based news agency for violating Israel's military censorship regulations . . . in a U.S. court?
WTF is that all about? LOL.
hope they squash the jihad-scum
but the first question is why on earth Israel ever allowed jihadists from Al-Jazeera to set foot in Israel
Thanks for this ping. I’d have missed the thread completely without it. I hope these Israelis win the jackpot. A long shot, maybe [given the current administration] but stranger things have happened.
As an off thread aside. I finally heard from my friend, Nachum, re: his Kaballah question. It’s quite long, and to be honest, I couldn’t begin to comprehend what he’s even asking. He does helpfully inquire if you know of a book to which you could direct him for more information, so perhaps if the question(s) is/are too esoteric, you could just suggest some titles he might peruse.
Should I send his question in a PM, or post to a thread? Whichever you prefer.
Thank you in advance!
...suing the Arab news network Al-Jazeera for $1.2 billion in a New York court for allegedly aiding the Lebanese guerrillas... 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.
So as not to highjack the thread, you might want to send it by pm. :)
Good idea. I shall be cutting and pasting you a PM asap. Thanks so much for your time and expertise; it is greatly appreciated!
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
