Abstract:
What is stunning is the callousness of it all. It is also interesting to see the cast of characters.
"The U.S. government this week launched its Arabic language satellite TV news station for mostly Muslim Iraq. It is being produced in a studio – Grace Digital Media – controlled by fundamentalist Christians who are rabidly pro-Israel. That's grace as in 'by the grace of God.'"
"While it's unclear whether Grace News Network actually produces any news, it has produced a documentary movie titled Israel: Divine Destiny which it showed at the National Press Club in September 2002. The film is about 'Israel's destiny and the United States' role in that destiny," according to Grace News Network."
