Talk:Arutz Sheva
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is Israel National Radio merely the English department of Arutz Sheva or is it a distinct branch? This needs to be made clear. Thanks --Dpr 05:54, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
One thing missing is the court cases in which people from A7 were charged with perjury etc.. --Zero 09:46, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Renaming to Arutz Sheva
I have requested a renaming of this page to 'Arutz Sheva'. --Daniel575 08:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- They still officially call themselves "Arutz Sheva Israel National Radio" according to their website. I see no reason to move. --liquidGhoul 00:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed unsupported claim
Removed the following text added at 06:40, September 10, 2006, by IP 212.143.253.179 because the cited matter does not support the statement.
- Broadcaster Rabbi Tovia Singer enthusiastically supports a joint Israel-U.S. attack on Iran in order to destroy the nation and its support for Palestinians.[1]
In the cited interview, the following concepts are never touched on: any joint Israel-U.S. attack, any intent to destroy the nation of Iran, or any intent to destroy Iran's support for Palestinians. The interview is primarily about a different subject, the interviewee's dispute with his employer about his view on the PLO. Singer's mention of an attack on Iran consists of one question: "Ultimately you feel -- because Iran is very important right now -- that Israel is going to have to bomb Iran?" The interviewee provokes the question by saying that "the U.S. will not attack Iran, as a lot of people think it will" and responds by saying that Israel won't, either. --Hoziron 10:14, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] How to characterise Arutz Sheva?
In describing Arutz Sheva, which is the most accurate description: conservative, right-wing, far-right? The sources I've read all suggest that it's considerably right-of-centre, but I'd be interesed to know how far to the right it's considered to be in terms of Israeli politics. -- ChrisO 02:05, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Usually it is regarded as the mouthpiece of the right wing of the settler movement. It's easy to find newspaper citations for either "right-wing" or "extreme right-wing", but I thought it was easiest to safely call it just "right-wing". The description "conservative" is pure euphemism. --Zerotalk 09:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
