Parsing Hebrew about mwfeedparser

[aporat]

I had a similar issue. it's not really an issue with Hebrew or MWFeedParser. ynet encode their RSS feeds incorrectly. (They included a windows-1255 header, while the actual content is in UTF-8...)

Try:

  NSData* encodedData;
    // YNET FIX (wrong windows-1255 in header) (http://www.ynet.co.il) 
    if ([[_feed.url substringToIndex:21] isEqual:@"http://www.ynet.co.il"]) {
      NSString *content = [[NSString alloc]  initWithBytes:[response.data bytes]
                                                    length:[response.data length] 
                                                  encoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding];      

      content = [content stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"Windows-1255" withString:@"UTF-8"];
      encodedData = [content dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
     } else {
      encodedData = response.data;
    }
