I do know Hebrew, and I do understand the news on Israeli TV, so it's not that I needed to find an international news channel for the information. There were a couple of other reasons.
- One is that I'm curious. I'd like to know if the world knows that Arab terrorists have kidnapped three Jewish Israeli teenagers and how they are playing it.
- Israel's Channel One, which should be the main source of news has decided not to waste the money it had spent for its World Cup coverage and therefore is showing soccer most of the time.
- I was sick and disgusted that Israel's Channels 2 and 10 kept on showing how the Arabs are suffering sic to help "balance" their broadcasts.
We have one of these satellite receiver thingies that gives us a "package" of hundreds of stations, mostly in Arabic or other languages I don't understand. We do get a few foreign news channels, such as BBC, CNN and Bloomberg. A number of times the past few days I tried listening to them while in the kitchen or folding laundry or doing other chores near the TV, but never did I hear even a hint of a mention that Israel is searching and praying for three teenage boys who had been kidnapped by Arab terrorists.
I'd like to know from where you're getting your news. Please let me know in the comments, thanks.
