It has been interesting to see how the opinion news on Ha'aretz has been increasing its focus on potential war with Iran. While the U.S. news channels and the republican presidential panels have focused a lot on the importance of this issue and on the prevention of nuclear power in Iran, I have found that the Israeli news sources have progressed to a stage beyond that of where American concern has plateaued. This has elevated for me the importance of my work in trying to become fluent in working with news sources in Hebrew and being able to make such comparisons.
I also reviewed a new tab that I noticed on Ha'aretz called "Captain Internet." This was an extremely neat section including games, frequently visited sites for certain interests, and gadgets. I thought this was especially fitting considering Israel is known for its hi-tech innovations and this could be a successful way of drawing consumers to their site.
I have continued reading the novel in Hebrew and am getting quite twisted in the plot. I expect to introduce this twist in my third artifact in a verbal summary both in Hebrew as well as an English translation.
I have prepared my second artifact for next week and created a story using the new words that I have learned from previous weeks.
