Al-Faraeen TV's Randa Samir Reaction to MEMRI: We Are a Liberal Channel and We Intend to Visit Israel

The following are excerpts from an interview with Al-Faraeen TV show host Randa Samir, which aired on Al-Faraeen TV on January 15, 2010.

Randa Samir: We are not against America, and we are not enemies of Israel, because we are a liberal channel, which believes in the freedom of individuals, societies, and countries, so long as this freedom does not harm or oppress the freedom of others. I'd like to send a message to the American Middle East Media Research Institute: I respect others, and I believe that every country or every society has its own ideology, democracy, and folklore, reflecting the fabric of its social construction. I respect the American media science, but I'd like to stress that the American media science and its theories are incompatible with the theories of Arab media science, because there is a great difference between American and Arab societies.

[...]

I'd like to stress to the American brothers that the contract signed between Al-Faraeen TV and the German TV aims at cultural exchange, dialogue of cultures, and exchange of knowledge.

[...]

This is despite our serious reservations about the previous and current German governments, for giving Israel three nuclear submarines, which are the best submarines in the world. No army in the world, including the US army, has such submarines – which were given to Israel for free. These submarines are capable of launching nuclear missiles, and rockets of all ranges. What more can I say?!

[...]

Al-Faraeen TV is not hostile to Israel, and we will visit Israel soon.

[...]

I'd like to say a few words to the Arab Jews. They must declare that they and they alone are Semites, and that the Aryan European Jews have no relation whatsoever to Semitism.
