I think an Israeli global satellite channel is an excellent idea. It should have been created years ago. It should be in english and arabic. And don’t be surprised if its biggest following grew to be in arabic, due to the muslim obsession, whether it be attraction-repulsion or envy-hatred with the Israeli “other”. Finally, israel would be able to reach beyond the world’s biased media and talk directly to viewers with reports that arabs never hear about the terrorism directed at israelis, but also about israel’s intellectual and artistic accomplishments in well written documentaries and intelligent and balanced talk shows that included israeli arabs who are not hostile to their fellow israelis unlike the hateful knesset members who represent them. It could take excerpts of the lies telecast on arab television and contrast it with the facts of what actually happened. It could show israeli films and tv series with english or arabic subtitles. There are vast numbers of arabs who don’t own computers, who are nearly or completely illiterate, but who do have access to television. I think this could be a powerful tool to contradict and undermine what is spewed on al jazeera and the other hate channels. It could start the process of re-educating the “arab street”. In the same way, in english, it could begin to re-educate the “global street”. And for those who say the internet is a more modern way to do this, then download this material there too!
