Third EU-Israel Media Dialogue


As in the previous media dialogues, the objective is to have an open exchange of ideas between senior journalists, from Europe and Israel, involved in the coverage of the "other side". Both European and Israeli journalists can find numerous reasons to be critical of the other. We asked whether this criticism is justified, and to what extent, with hindsight it might have been moderated. To avoid generalities, the debate focused on the coverage of recent events, mainly the war in Lebanon and the Israeli operations in the Gaza strip of the autumn of 2006. The final session dealt with another issue on which European and Israeli perceptions often differ, namely the migration to Europe of people from Islamic countries.
