      TV Viewers Protest Showing Kotel and Hamas Side By Side


      Channel Two viewers expressed anger Tuesday night over the showing of a prayer rally at the Western Wall (Kotel) side by side with armed Hamas protestors at an anti-Annapolis conference rally. The newscaster defended the picture, saying he mentioned the Hebrew word "LiHavdil," meaning there is a big difference between the two events.

      However, viewers did not accept the explanation and have complained, prompting television directors to announce they will examine the news report's integrity.
