NEWS SOURCE

To understand what goes on in Israel, how the country operates and the difference of opinions from within, one should keep up to date with its daily news.

The internet offers a variety of sites including radio and television news broadcasts in several languages from Jerusalem, PowerPoint displays on the history of the land, a choice of Israeli newspapers and general analysis on the Middle East.

Firstly if you are a radio person, then Kol Yisrael (Voice of Israel) bulletins http://bet.iba.org.il broadcast several times a day in several languages. Although this page is in Hebrew, a little way down on the left side you will see...

Just click on your preferred language and listen...

Secondly Mabat News on Israel's Channel One TV also produces a daily English programme that can be found at http://mabat.iba.org.il/

On this Hebrew page, you will find "Bulletins On Demand" on the left side...

Select a Mabat produced programme you wish to view from the drop down box (perhaps IBA NEWS in English) and then press play...

If you wish to learn more about this region of the world but have very little time, then this site http://www.conceptwizard.com/ offers various short PowerPoint clips about the history of the Middle East and Jewish people. Select Presentations on the Middle East Conflict on the right and there you have several different short films in a nutshell...
