Well, many others have weighed in on this issue, why shouldn't I?????
 
Personally, I  think that people need to focus on doing the right thing.  Period.  We don't need to compromise what we believe and if Pro-Israel offends people, so what?  Its the right stand to take.  Many people were offended by things Yeshua said.
 
Having said that, I can understand why, as Jim pointed out, there could be a valid reason to save some of that info for the more mature stages of believers to reach them where they are for broadcasts in the Mid East.  but I see no reason why their American programming has to be dictated by Mid-Eastern goals.  They don't have to run all the same programs in the Arab world they are running in America anyway, yet they chose to ax Hal to the American audience.
 
Shalom,
