Echoes again without a balanced debate: Another reason to cancel the RTV-supplement

The article criticizes RTV Slovenia for presenting an unbalanced perspective on Israeli policies regarding settlement construction on the West Bank, using commentators aligned with the left. It argues that the Palestinian issue is being exploited by the Slovenian left for political gain, portraying the conflict as one-sided. The discussion includes comments from former diplomat Roman Kirn and academic Faris Kočan, who argue that Slovenia should align with EU policies rather than challenge them. The article highlights the lack of balanced debate, noting that no commentator representing the Israeli side was included. It also raises questions about potential conflicts of interest involving Kočan’s employment at the Faculty of Social Sciences and his political affiliations.
