well i did a little digging its parent company is a jewish media organization called the gershon jacobson jewish continuity foundation some of the benefactors of the foundation include the israeli ministry of tourism and israel bonds and it has been endorsed by senator joe lieberman york mayor michael bloomberg as well as gabrielle a shell of the permanent representative of israel to the united nations so where am i going with all of this well two days after the r.t.e. office was bombed in gaza and email from the spokesperson for the israeli prime minister's office alex cells he arrived to the head of artes moscow branch no not apologizing for bombing our two. but instead he gave an oddly valid threat where he claimed that artie's coverage is one sided regarding the conflict not only did he not apologize but netanyahu his own spokesperson basically insinuated that the r.t. station is fair game to be attacked because of the side we've taken in our coverage i guess this is their way of saying you want to cover gaza fairly well this is what you get unacceptable and despicable behavior coming from t
