He who controls the airwaves

I had the occassion to drive northward along the coast of the Dead Sea last night, after spending the day hiking in the area (great and challenging hike called Nahal Mishmar, for those interested).

Scanning the radio stations led me to discover that Israel, or at least that region of Israel, has been conquered by the Jordanians.

Until we hit the northern tip of the Dead Sea, we could not find a single radio station in Hebrew. They were mostly Arabic and one in English. We did hear the Jordanian news broadcast in English - they even mentioned the Palestinian youth killed by Israelis after allegedly stabbing two settlers in the Occupied West Bank.

I think Israel has to take back the airwaves down there. Put up some broadcast towers in the area and make sure Israelis down there can here some Hebrew broadcasts.

    Terrestrial radio is on its last legs. So long as Israeli cellular data is available, you can listen to whatever you want, from anywhere in the world.
