Remember, getting the news out of news stories in Israel is not so easy. The Prime Minister might be the one to legally call for elections, but the Israeli populace is not too happy with the present state of the economy—which ain’t bad by world standards.

This Obama angle is nonsense, as our President will hardly be paralyzed by the upcoming US elections—all of which would diminish the credibility of Israel’s best-informed political commentator.

The fact is, Israeli newspapers have stories about what others in the world are saying about Israel, the daily terrorist attempt to murder Israelis (moving to the bottom of the page as it’s so commonplace), official government statements—all of which means that there is precious little news in Israel itself. Science, agriculture, and tourism. It’s like the local news in one city.
