61. Great idea BUT...
Maurice ,   Montreal   (04.09.11)
It has to have NO commercials to compete with BBC and Aljazeera which practically have no commercials (as opposed to CNN which interrupts its program with tiring commercials evry 5 minutes!)
62. #56 Raphi
Maurice ,   Montreal   (04.09.11)
I remind you that Katar which owns Al Jazeera is much smaller than Israel. I do think that there is indeed a great market for such a network as a good part of the populations of all civilized countries are pro-Israel, and they would love to hear the other side of the story. I would definitely subscribe (I would still keep Al Jazeera though for comparison).
63. In the us the only Pro Israel channel is Fox
Sean Green ,   Pasadena, USA   (04.09.11)
Of course most Jews are liberal so they don't like it, however they always side with Israel.
64. Synthia, you got it right, only this time, sistah...
Persian CAT   (04.09.11)
I do enjoy Israeli press. But the idea of a "news outfit" run by the extremist Zionist government to spread the "truth" will quickly join the saudi-funded Al Arabiya, and the Iranian funded and supported Al Alam and Press TV. All of which can be found in what I call, the news gutter. There is no propaganda outfit that can pull the wool over the world's eyes, ANY MORE. The "Arabs" whom you hate so much are not taking ANY of their government sponsored media seriously at all. Get a clue, babe.
65. Leo, sorry to break the "news" to you...
Persian CAT   (04.09.11)
but "most of the world" is not as undecided as you think. Most of the world can tell the stench of Apartheid from miles away. Your condition seems to have isolated you from seeing the world as it is. Get out, watch the news and read a lot. Until your condition is cured.
66. About bloody time!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (04.09.11)
Six months ago PM Netanyahu promised to reform the Israel Broadcasting Authority and demanded from its management advances in technology and an international news channel. He complained that all over the world he sees the BBC, CNN, FOXNews, Al-Jezeera and others, all ready an willing to bash Israel, but no Israel TV in English. If they did not comply "within in weeks" he threatened to close it down! As usual, promises, promises and that's all. Congratulations Dr. Alexander Mashkevich. Please don't let us down. Leave that to the Government.
67. Defending Israel by telling the truth lol
Deutronomy 28 ,   World   (04.09.11)
The word mission impossible comes to mind. Telling the truth means the end of Israel lol. Telling the truth is the exact opposite of defending Israel. Israel's image good and nice image is founded on lies and propaganda so good luck lol
68. Remove the "NOT" and I guarantee you would be in Sarah LOL
Deutronomy 28 ,   World   (04.10.11)
69. Notice that it's the "Jewish al jazeera" and not the Israeli
Deutronomy 28 ,   World   (04.10.11)
Aljazeera. It's religiously based which makes just as bad as the media the zionists criticize. And the last time I checked there is no country called Jews there is Israel so why not call it the " Israeli al jazeera" ? Israel has non Jews citizens. Oh yeah Israel doesn't care about those. Israel = racism. Lol
70. #53 I agree cynthia
Deutronomy 28 ,   World   (04.10.11)
It's good it will be in Arabic the demand is truly there, Arabs are lacking having a good laugh seeing some zionists make fools out of themselves. Arabs need to have a laugh especially people in gaza lol
71. And about time too. The world is waiting for the TRUTH.
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (04.09.11)
we have had enough of the islamic hate propaganda. I hope i can get this channel here in Englandistan? Hit the prpoagandist right where it hurts - they hate TRUTH.
72. #64 To secret admirer of Israel
Cynthia ,   USA   (04.10.11)
Not even on-line yet and you're already coughing up fur balls and labeling "extremist Zionist government" press. Israel is the most watched country in the world and people want to know more. Especially the neighbors. The fact that arabs are not taking their government sponsored media seriously means emerging markets for Israel. Imagine they have to watch Israeli media to find out what's happening in their own country.
73. #70 No need to put yourself down
Cynthia ,   USA   (04.10.11)
I do believe human intelligence exists in the Arab/Muslim world. You're just not a good example.
74. 62 - one Fox is enough, this thing will never be able to
Daniel   (04.10.11)
compete with Fox.
75. Israel News Network
Tressa Meyers ,   Washington DC - USA   (04.10.11)
Is a good idea to get News to the World about what Positive things are going on in Israel. It will be nice See the Channel here in USA. But it is not needed. All the news in the USA about Israel is Positive already. However we can learn more.
76. Congratulations Dr. Mashkevich
Dallas ,   Canada   (04.10.11)
There is a hunger for the reversal of the P-C truth in MSM. BBC refuses to call terrorists who rocket yellow school buses as terrorists, and many other subtle techniques which have obscured the truth. Your network will be a breath of fresh air, for which the (still) rational majority of the world will welcome.
77. Merger
Arie ,   BaGolan   (04.10.11)
Rumor has it Haaretz has propositioned a merger with al Jazeera. Given both are owned by terror groups - al Jazeera by al Qaeda and Haaretz by scions of Hitler's nazis and their alliance with Hezbollah and Hamas - the combination is a remarkably well designed end product of Jew hatred
78. Persian CAT @ 65, learn to read and you will not
leo ,   usa   (04.10.11)
need to be sorry. You did not brake any news to me. I already told you it is fight for independents and your lies have gone uncontested for far too long. Many Undecided/Independents might favor your side for a moment, but it does not mean it should or will go on forever. One important thing to remember. Israelis bested all their enemies on the field of battle. No reason to think Israelis should not be as successful on the field info-battle. Your days of coning the World are coming to an end.
79. Get Glenn Beck!!!
Lee ,   USA   (04.10.11)
And Fox viewers will have your channel on their favorites list.
80. jewzeera
rolf ,   amsterdam   (04.10.11)
good idea, BUT as only arabs watch al jazeera, probably the audience here will be jews, and they already know. how can the non-jewish mass be targetted?
81. GOOD!
Yaawqove ,   Israel   (04.11.11)
82. Use the israeli TV discussion model
Gabriel ,   Jerusalem   (04.12.11)
Let´s show the world how multi-faceted and full of different opinions is the jewish people. Opinion and commenting programs on daily issues from Jewish perspectiveS (capital S, pluralism) That´s what judaism is all about
83. al-Jewzeera
Richard ,   Monterey, California   (04.17.11)
It will be all propaganda.
84. New Jewish News Service
SK ,   Savona,NY,USA   (04.18.11)
This is long overdue. I only go with Fox News, and other Conservative online news sources because the Commie and Islamist media outlets are pathological liers. Good luck with your news service, and watch your backs. Your enemies are many, and are prone to violence.
85. Israeli forces detain 9 in West Bank
Hamad ,   us   (12.04.11)
israeli violenec
