It was a hot summer in Israel, not just the temperature but the feelings of Israelis due to the "historic" and "brave" decision to pullout from Gaza and four settlements on the West-Bank.

The Israeli media expected the pullout from Gaza to take weeks. Lots of reporters were sent to Gaza in order to cover this story from all angles. Instead it took five days to clear out the settlements. Forced evacuations began Wednesday, stopped during the Jewish Sabbath and ended on Monday.

Last month there was a government produced commercial on TV that encouraged the residents to be evacuated, to contact the government offices who would find them new homes and help them to start their life again. The music to that commercial was taken from KPM. It is a positive track, simple but optimistic.

Channel 10 news covered this story around the clock. In some of their articles they used tracks from MMG's music-bank. "There were many issues and stories in this event" said a producer on 'News10'. "We needed some dramatic tracks to suit the dramatic pictures and emotional tracks for personal interest stories. In an article about the girls' fortification in Neve Dekalim's Synagogue, we used the tracks "Battlefield" (Selected Sound), "Running Battle", "Into Combat" (KPM) and more to bring the feel of battle between this group of ideological young girls and the army and police troops."

"This event is shaking the balance of the Israeli society, and children are exposed to all of this too" said one of the producers from Channel 6 (the cable channel for children). "We are producing a news magazine for children that explains the news in a simple way. We feel it's important to give them information in the proper way, especially dramatic events like this.
We collaborate with Snunit group, and uploaded these articles to the web so they would be available for all of the children of Israel. We used MMG's music to color the articles and make them more interesting to the children. We have logs created by children from Gaza that present the situation from their point of view. We have articles by children and by professional news reporters and we really work hard to make children understand."
