I would like to break this into individual events before the ",{type" :

{ "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [{ "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [34.7500, 31.5000] }, "properties": {  "urlpubtimedate": "2015-11-08T16:30:00Z", "name": "Israel", "geores": 1, "url": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34729243", "urldomain": "bbc.co.uk", "urlsocialimage": "http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/15BB8/production/_86561098_gettyimages-456461420.jpg", "urllangcode": "eng", "urltone": 0.88, "urlwordcnt": 752, "urlnumamounts": 2, "mentionedthemes": ";APPOINTMENT;TAX_POLITICAL_PARTY_REPUBLICANS;GENERAL_GOVERNMENT;MANMADE_DISASTER_IMPLIED;TAX_FNCACT_LEADERS;USPEC_POLITICS_GENERAL1;TAX_ETHNICITY_AMERICAN;SLFID_MILITARY_SPENDING;WB_2471_PEACEKEEPING;USPEC_POLICY1;TAX_FNCACT_MINISTER;TAX_FNCACT_CHILD;NEGOTIATIONS;TAX_POLITICAL_PARTY_DEMOCRATS;MEDIA_SOCIAL;", "mentionednames": ";Israel National Public Diplomacy Directorate;Benjamin Netayahu;Facebook;"} },{ "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [-77.0364, 38.8951] }, "properties": {  "urlpubtimedate": "2015-11-08T16:30:00Z", "name": "Washington, District Of Columbia, United States", "geores": 3, "url": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34729243", "urldomain": "bbc.co.uk", "urlsocialimage": "http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/15BB8/production/_86561098_gettyimages-456461420.jpg", "urllangcode": "eng", "urltone": 0.88, "urlwordcnt": 752, "urlnumamounts": 2, "mentionedthemes": ";TAX_FNCACT_MINISTER;TAX_FNCACT_MAN;GENERAL_GOVERNMENT;CRISISLEX_C07_SAFETY;USPEC_POLITICS_GENERAL1;TAX_FNCACT_OFFICIAL;", "mentionednames": ";White House;Benjamin Netanyahu;Us Congress;"} },{ "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [51.5148, 35.7500] }, "properties": {  "urlpubtimedate": "2015-11-08T16:30:00Z", "name": "Tehran, Tehran, Iran", "geores": 3, "url": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34729243", "urldomain": "bbc.co.uk", "urlsocialimage": "http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/15BB8/production/_86561098_gettyimages-456461420.jpg", "urllangcode": "eng", "urltone": 0.88, "urlwordcnt": 752, "urlnumamounts": 2, "mentionedthemes": ";WMD;", "mentionednames": ""} },{ "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [37.6156, 55.7522] }, "properties": {  "urlpubtimedate": "2015-11-08T16:30:00Z", "name": "Moscow, Moskva, Russia", "geores": 3, "url": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34729243", "urldomain": "bbc.co.uk", "urlsocialimage": "http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/15BB8/production/_86561098_gettyimages-456461420.jpg", "urllangcode": "eng", "urltone": 0.88, "urlwordcnt": 752, "urlnumamounts": 2, "mentionedthemes": ";TAX_FNCACT_MINISTER;", "mentionednames": ""} },{ "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [38.0000, 35.0000] }, "properties": {  "urlpubtimedate": "2015-11-08T16:30:00Z", "name": "Syria", "geores": 1, "url": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34729243", "urldomain": "bbc.co.uk", "urlsocialimage": "http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/15BB8/production/_86561098_gettyimages-456461420.jpg", "urllangcode": "eng", "urltone": 0.88, "urlwordcnt": 752, "urlnumamounts": 2, "mentionedthemes": ";USPEC_POLITICS_GENERAL1;", "mentionednames": ""} },{ "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [53.0000, 32.0000] }, "properties": {  "urlpubtimedate": "2015-11-08T16:30:00Z", "name": "Iran", "geores": 1, "url": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34729243", "urldomain": "bbc.co.uk", "urlsocialimage": "http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/15BB8/production/_86561098_gettyimages-456461420.jpg", "urllangcode": "eng", "urltone": 0.88, "urlwordcnt": 752, "urlnumamounts": 2, "mentionedthemes": ";TAX_ETHNICITY_AMERICANS;NEGOTIATIONS;WB_724_HUMAN_RESOURCES_FOR_PUBLIC_SECTOR;", "mentionednames": ";White House;"} }] } 

So it looks like:

Do I need to use SHOULD_LINEMERGE ?

Thanks

That validates as JSON. It could perhaps be more useful to you if you were switch the input to JSON to take advantage of those features. You may still have some cleaning up to do, but I think it'll get you a lot closer to having usable data.

Please see this excellent and short answer by martin_mueller for more information, and be sure to upvote that answer if you find it useful.
