Can't be havin' Joos converting to Christianity . . .
_____________________________________________________________________

Israel's regulator has ordered an evangelical Christian broadcaster's new channel off the air, saying it applied to serve a Christian audience but instead has sought to persuade Jews with the gospel of Jesus.

In a statement, the Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Council said its chairman, Asher Biton, told the Israeli cable provider Hot on Thursday that evangelical broadcaster God TV's channel Shelanu — which means "ours" in Hebrew — must come off the air in seven days.

"An examination of the council's supervision wing shows that the channel does not appeal to the Christian population in Israel, but rather to the Jews," the council said in a written statement. "Therefore, the characterization of the channel submitted for approval does not reflect its broadcasts."

The spokesman for Shelanu, Ron Cantor, Israel regional director for God TV, said it was false that the broadcaster had broken its agreement.

"Our license, granted by the state of Israel, says in Hebrew that our target audience is the audience of Israeli viewers," Cantor said in an emailed statement. "There is no stipulation whatsoever that we must target Christians."

That's ridiculous. Everybody should have access to whatever they want so they can have the faith of their choosing

Hm. You should move to Israel and vote in their elections to change things. Oh, wait, that doesn't work on any level. You can't become an Israeli citizen unless you are Jewish. And voting is about as effective there as anywhere else. It's the Jews and their "shoulds" that have power, both here and there, regardless of what you think and how you vote.

Government is threatened by a citizenry that arms itself with the power that knowledge gives. And it isn’t unique to just the Israeli government.

That is completely untrue. About 25% of Israeli citizens are not Jewish, either ethnically or spiritually. Yes, just about anyone is eligible to become a citizen of Israel.
