SBS Dateline: Israel's Divide
An episode not to be missed

SBS: DATELINE: Israel's Divide
Wednesday night 8.30PM EST 23 May SBS.

From SBS Viewing guide:
Israel's Divide
Israel is officially a Jewish state but in reality, 20 percent of Israel's citizens are Palestinian Arabs. As Sophie McNeill reports, this group of 1.5 million people believe they're being discriminated against in their own country.

Relations between Jews and Arabs inside Israel are at a turning point, as both groups struggle with their sense of identity. Dateline reports on the fight to retain or alter Israel's Jewishness.

______________

The reporter of this segment Sophie McNeil has been involved in some previous controversial reporting. Considering her previous history, the place she is currently Living, [Lebanon] and her seeming well developed empathy for Arabs, this particular episode deserves close attention. Apparently Sophie McNeil is learning Arabic, what worries me is, that unlike Israel where it is quite possible to present controversial opinions which differ from the majority, it seems reporters immersed in Arabic culture find little similar intellectual freedom.

If there is anything you feel is discriminatory then send an email to: SBS Dateline

SBS is probably my favorite channel for viewing, Some of its shows are exceptional, despite this, of recent times I have seen a rise in Anti Semitic programing, and in some instances down right Anti Semitic content and narrations.

I hope that Dateline doesn't contribute once again to SBS's slide towards Antisemitism.

Who Is Nicholas Sarkozy?
Sun, May 20 2007

Alex Dafner takes a quick glance at the Jewish roots of the new French President ‎Nicholas Sarkozy and some excerpts of his victory speech, which perhaps carry the ‎echo of the veltantshaung, worldview that Sarkozy inherited from his Greek Jewish ‎grandfather Beniko Benedict Mallah.‎
