Yad L’Achim wanted to run the following commercial on Galei Tzahal (Army Radio). “Neshama – Do not let them get to your soul! Missionaries are operating at holiday events across the country towards influencing you to convert. Do not be tempted! Keep Jewish identity and pride! Keep your soul! For information call Yad L’Achim 1800-620-640.”
Army Radio rejected the commercial on the grounds it is offensive to the religious sensitivities of some, adding it cannot mention the name Yad L’Achim because the organization is “controversial” in the eyes of some.
The matter went to the Supreme Court in search of a solution. When it became clear that the sides could not reach agreement, the court imposed an agreement upon them. The High Court’s version of the commercial is void of any Jewish identity and makes no distinction between converting between one religion and another.
The new version says “Are they trying to get you to change your religion? Call 1-800-640-620.”

The High Court of the “Jewish State” fell deep in to the “lowest valley”!!!
Disgusting!
If all our radio stations were private, like they should be, then there would not be any question.
Nu, Zionist lovers:
Come out and defend!
Try to be dan l’kaf zchus.
Lets see what we can now come up with, in order to “heaven forbid” not talk Loshon Horah on “Am Yisrael”.
The assimilated Herzl certainly is getting it his way!
