Technically it is still an Israeli perspective, in the way that, if I tell my friends something you said, that is my perspective on what you said. Even if manage to quote you 100% word for word. If they want your perspective directly then they need to ask you, not me. From what little I can google, the translations are indeed accurate. And I am still left wondering what percentage of the programming is like that, and I also wonder what the context is for those clips. How widespread are those views? Is the guy who says that NASA confirms that the Muslim holy site emanates a divine radiation, which proves it is connected directly to Allah, is that interview serious or is it a TV show about nutters? How many women truly want their sons to become martyrs? Just how many cartoons are there for kids, glorifying suicide bombing? So all I'm saying is, yes that's real material, and let's be careful how we interpret it.
