“All Palestinian leaders, including the current chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and (disputed) president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, have refused to state their recognition of Israel as the Jewish state.”
This is all the proof you need that the Palestinians are determined to destroy Israel. There will be no “co-existing” here, only the never-ending Palestinian quest to wipe Israel off the map. And you know what? With Obama in the White House, that just might happen. The Obama administration has made no bones about the fact that it supports the Palestinians over the Israelis and the Israeli Prime Minister has been insulted by Obama on several occasions. We obviously know where Obama stands on Palestinian statehood, regardless how this effects Israel.
The Israelis could try a news channel, like Al Jazeera. But always remember that Al Jazeera is preaching to the choir. The people who watch it generally are NOT supporters of Israel and, if anything, are anti-semitic as well. Let’s not forget that Al Jazeera also has an anti-American/anti-Western agenda. So I don’t think a lot of supporters of Israel (or even potential supporters) go to Al Jazeera for their news.
Israel should make bigger inroads on the Internet. More news web sites, more political web sites, more tourism web sites, more advertising on big web sites, anything to get attention. You will be reaching a younger generation of Americans who will support Israel in the future. The people who only rely on the old TV media (like the network news) for their information probably could care less about Israel and probably wouldn’t be influenced by an Israeli news channel that would be on cable anyway. Nope, Israel should start dominating the Internet. If it can do that, it will literally reach the entire world, and quickly too.
