Which Israeli English News Website Is The Best For Outside Observers?

June 8, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

Nicholas Lowry argues that Ynet gets the prize:

Even with its poorly written articles (yes, I live in a glass house) and poorly reasoned editorials, Ynet, the English language page of Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel’s most widely read paper, is probably the most accurate reflection of public sentiment in the Jewish state.

Speaking of glass houses and English news websites. Lowry writes his opinion in NowLebanon’s “blog”. I put the word blog in quotation marks because it’s a blog that doesn’t have an RSS feed, which defeats the entire purpose of a blog. Add to that Now Lebanon’s usage of an annoying service called Tynt (the copy/paste Jerks ), and we can perhaps ask Lowry to get off his high horse.
