How is this not another middleman (with a political banner in its README no less)?

  Not sure what you found, but some of the "interesting links" on his website suggest a conspiracy theorist.

    If I was the state, conspiring against the people, the first thing I'd do would be to program the masses to ridicule the intelligent ones who spot the signs and theorise about a conspiracy - I'd teach the masses to point and laugh at wacky "conspiracy theorists"

      What I would do is spread obviously ridiculous theories in order to distract attention from the real problem.

        "Obviously ridiculous" - this often depends on whether you are aware of certain pretexts or not. For example, whether or not you're aware that the banking system is collecting interest on all the money in the world, every second of the day, and it created it all out of thin air.

  > If he actually believed what he said Believe at what? A fact that is being actively documented in Gaza by NGOs and corroborated by numerous news agencies internationally? This is all comming across as dishonest (specially when looking at your own homepage)

I think it acts more as an rss feed reader rather than building and hosting apps on it's own.

At this point it is not political, the banner mention a fact and a tragedy and link for donations to reputable NGOs.

  I know this is off-topic, as is this whole sub-thread by now. But is there a way to read the news as the Israelis do? I sometimes read rt.com (even though I need a vpn for that, somehow my government feels I'm not allowed to study this??), it helps me understand how Russian media presents news to their citizens. Is there anything like that for Israeli news? Our Dutch news (and I think most EU news) is pretty much presenting us with the view that Israel has lost it (stories about young men searching for food being shot in the genitals for fun and such [0]), so I'm very curious how their government presents things to its civilians.

    Would you prefer English content? You could try ynetnews.com, which I believe is translated from Ynet's Hebrew articles, for a very mainstream Israeli source. There are also fully English sources like Times of Israel, though though it has sort of an international audience, not only Israelis.

      Thanx! (Yes English is best!)
