Talk:Arutz Sheva

message: 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)
replies: text: Israel National News and Israel National Radio are the English department of A7. However, they have a different set of editorial priorities, and a distinct editorial tenor.
One thing missing is the court cases in which people from A7 were charged with perjury etc..  --Zero 09:46, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

text: It should be noted none of the writers or editors were ever so charged. The case involved fund-raisers and managers. It should also be given context: A7 was originally pirate radio operating from a boat outside Israeli waters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.176.109.89 (talk) 18:58, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

message: 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.
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)

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)
thread_title:  How to characterise Arutz Sheva? 

message: An editor is removing references from IsraelNationalNews from the Michael Ben-Ari claiming that A7 is not a RS. I know he does not believe me, or maybe I am wrong? --Shuki (talk) 05:35, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I see a clearly political tendency to discredit this News source that is no less --at least-- than any other.RS101 (talk) 16:18, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: A7 is as reliable a news source as CNN, FOXnews or the BBC. Or more so, since A7 researches and writes most of its articles with its own staff and contributors, instead of merely buying the content from big corporate news agencies such as Reuters or DPA. And contrary to other news sources, which officially claim to be politically independant while it is clear that they are slanted to the left (like CNN) or to the right (like FOXnews), A7 informs the reader that it has a bias, namely to the national-religious camp. That is honesty - something rarely found in the news media. -- Alexey Topol (talk) 01:07, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

text: What proves their reliability for me is the fact that A7 consistently provides both sides of an issue in its news stories - quoting, without alteration, the words of those on the other side.  That is not true of the AP, which gets its news exclusively from Arab reporters, nor CNN, which openly admitted to slanting its stories under pressure from Saddam Hussein.Pedantrician (talk) 00:15, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Latest attempt to delegitimize Arutz Sheva 

message: Arutz Sheva's operations became fully legal under media laws enacted in 1999.

A Decade after Demise of his Alternative Station, MK Katz Alters Broadcasting Authority Law Jewish Press,
MK Katz himself was involved in the late 1980s and through the ’90s in running a pirate radio station called Arutz Sheva off the coast of Tel-Aviv, serving up alternative programming and giving the state’s official broadcasters a run for their money.
In February 1999, the Knesset passed a law legalizing the operation of Arutz Sheva and absolving it of earlier illegal broadcasting, but Israel’s Supreme Court ruled on an appeal that the law was null and void. In October 2003, ten employees of Arutz Sheva were convicted of operating an illegal radio station, and then station director Ya’akov Katz (Ketzaleh) was convicted on two counts of perjury. Creating the means, today, of appointing a Broadcasting Authority Supervisory Council which would act to bring into the public broadcasting fold voices that so far have been barred from government-sponsored studios will surely bring closure to Katz’s own two and a half decades of struggle.
The 1999 law was declaried null by the Supreme Court, and the article does not indicate any change to Arutz Sheva's (il)legal status.Nishidani (talk) 12:19, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
