Iranian Channel Sahar TV: MEMRI TV Responsible For Taking Us Off European Satellite

The following are excerpts from a report on Iranian channel Sahar TV, from March 13, 2005:

Reporter: At the end of last week, the Eutelsat Company implemented the decision of the French Higher Council for Radio and Television to stop the broadcasting of Sahar 1 TV via its satellite, despite council's false claims and weak evidence, which tried to prove that Sahar TV programs are anti-Semitic. The French Council's decision came as part of a Western-Zionist plot that seeks to silence the voices of truth, allowing the Western and Zionist media deception to set the tone in the world.

Before this, the Middle East Media Research Institute, MEMRI, added a new service to its activities. This institute is headed by a former officer in the Zionist army. It is based in Washington and specializes in monitoring Arab and Islamic media, and providing Western media and politicians, especially Americans, with anti-American or Anti-Israeli statements in the various Arab and Islamic media. The new service monitors Arab and Islamic TV channels, records and translates them, and supplying movies and gives recordings of these channels' broadcasts to Zionist, American, and Western officials.

Sahar 1 TV was one of the channels monitored by this institute, which exploits some of its anti-Zionist programs to distort the truth, and to urge France to stop broadcasting Sahar TV via the Eutelsat satellite. At any rate, this recent French position unveiled the scope of the of the Zionist lobby's infiltration into the French authorities and circles. This infiltration could widen the gap and spreading feelings of hatred and dispute between Arabs and Muslims on the one hand, and the Western world on the other.
