You said some of the stories you do are more related to current events. Can you give me an example of some of the stories you've done?
Every day we try to approach the hottest subject of the day, so for weeks unfortunately it was the Gaza thing.1 So I had two or three Palestinian journalists from Gaza to just describe what was going on there. I thought this was very important because all the information that we hear of what is going on there is from Israeli journalists, who are very far from being objective. Sometimes we have tried to do the morning interviews with Knesset members, but I hated it, I absolutely hated it, because I thought, "We shouldn't give them more radio time to repeat the nonsense that they are repeating every place else. We shouldn't give them another stage to do this." So I really try to avoid it, from both sides of the political map, from the Left and the Right, they are not saying anything new. There is nothing interesting about what they have to say.- 1In May 2004 the Israeli army invaded Rafah at the southern end of the Gaza Strip after Palestinians blew up an Israeli army tank on the Israeli controlled Philadelphia Road, the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt.
