Isa Leibler calls for a Jewish satellite news channel to counter Al-Jazeera’s English broadcasts:
The advent of a global English-language version of the formidable Al Jazeera, Qatari-sponsored Arab TV cable satellite represents another major escalation in the war of ideas against us.
Al-Jazeera’s depiction of Israel in American and European homes will undoubtedly make the biased BBC and CNN pale by comparison. The fact that it already has access to 80 million Western households should put to rest any illusions that its impact will be confined….
The creation of a global TV channel promoting a Jewish viewpoint must now assume the highest priority. The need for such a vehicle is not merely to provide a more balanced viewpoint on Israeli and Jewish issues. An equally important requirement is to ensure that Jewish youngsters are provided with an alternative to the anti-Israel offensives that now saturate European and Western media.
What impact would a “Jewish Jazeera” have?
