JERUSALEM -- Israeli police raided the Jerusalem studio of Ram FM – an English-language peace radio station, based in the West Bank, which aims to find common ground between Israelis and Palestinians – on the grounds the station was operating without a license.
The International Media Council of the Next Century Foundation is convinced that the honesty or dishonesty of media affects the mental health of the world. Freedom of expression is vital as a means of permitting all views to flourish peacefully. It is a cliché that the price of this freedom must be continual vigilance – in particular vigilance to identify and expose the encouragement of malice, war and the incident of hate speech and image.

Israeli police raid peace radio station
This piece came in from Dajani of ATFP. Sometimes Israel goes crazy. I mean they complain about mosque broadcasts inciting violence on Palestinian State TV. So when they get a half-way decent broadcaster they HAMMER it into the ground. Meanwhile they give cart blanche to all the filth. Are Israelis insane or just plain stupid. They are certainly badly served by their government - unless that is their government has some sort of death wish. I have often wondered that. Else how do you explain this kind of inane policy?
