I see that Scheuer, like NPR commentators, makes a point of mispronouncing Israeli names.

When I lived in England, this sort of deliberate pismronunciation was de rigueur for the BBC. Apparently, the then prime minister of Israel was one Yitchak Raybin. Mind you, I think the BBC used to toe the Saudi line by referring to the “Tel-Aviv government”.

Speaking of Yerushalayim or Al-Quds, remember that it was called Jebus (Ye’vus), before it became Jerusalem.
