Yadda Yadda
More bluster from Israel's Foreign Ministry:
(IsraelNN.com) Israel has decided to impose an official embargo of the Arabic Al Jazeera satellite TV network due to the Foreign Ministry's assessment that the station functions as a propaganda arm in the Arab war against the Jewish State.
"After discussions on the issue, the Foreign Ministry has decided to embargo the station," Deputy Foreign Minister Majali Wahabe told Army Radio Wednesday. "[Al Jazeera’s] reports are untrustworthy and they hurt us. They incite people to terrorist activities."
The Foreign Ministry intends to demand that Qatar, where Al Jazeera is based, investigate specific allegations regarding coverage of recent events in Gaza and other incidents. It alleges that Al Jazeera has cooperated fully with Hamas propoganda efforts.
Except...
As of yet, however, no press cards of Al Jazeera personnel have been revoked, and Israeli government spokesmen will continue to speak on the agency’s English-language channel.
Nothing but more bluster from the Israeli Ministry, a useless and stupid statement that will never see any real results in terms of what comes out Al Jazeera.
However, you might ask yourself, besides the obvious bias against Israel, what does CNN have in common with Al Jazeera? And... what does ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, ESPN, and FOX News have in common with Al Jazeera? And... what does Reuters have in common with Al Jazeera?
The answer is... RRSat.
RRSat Global Communications Network Ltd. is an experienced comprehensive world-class provider of end-to-end transmission via satellites and production services to the global broadcasting industry. The company was founded in 1981 and operates under license from the Israeli Ministry of Communications.
Yup. You read that right. RRSat is an Israeli company and these are some of their clients:
Al Jazeera, along with most of the mainstream media, relies on an Israeli company to distribute its anti-Israel propaganda, including their constant calls to boycott Israeli companies, and other companies that do business with Israel.
Irony is so... ironic.

Well Linda, that is certainly interesting. If they wiped Israel off the map, no one would be able to report it.
I'm sorry to see that there are those in Israel who would help promote anti-Israel propaganda for the sake of money.
