1. Wrong! The Lunatics should have their say like everyone else
tom ,   tel aviv   (11.20.11)
It is the lack of a balancing, Right-wing, Jewish stations that's the real crime here!
2. no shock here, "Israel" is in ME.
(11.20.11)
This is like something you'd see in Syria, Egypt, or Iran. BRAVO ZIONISTS : )
3. Interfering with aircraft?
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (11.20.11)
That's the excuse that was used to shut down the right-wing pirate broadcasts.
4. #1-2 what about arutz sheva?
Besalel ,   Great Neck, NY   (11.20.11)
why doesnt freedom of expression extend in both directions?
5. Israel showing its true face
James ,   Canada   (11.20.11)
The only "democracy" in the Middle East is showing its true nationalist, fascist face.
6. #4
Henry from New York ,   USA   (11.20.11)
Arutz Sheva doesn't have a broadcasting liscence if I remember correctly, and the government won't give them one.
7. arutz sheva #4
Joe Tango ,   USA   (11.20.11)
arutz sheva Was shut down years ago for same reasons and is now broadcasting only on the the internet. This leftist so called peace station is funded by the United States and Norway and several others please see their sponsors on their website. By the way to my knowledge the leftist station can still broadcast by the net?? arutz sheva does not have or get foreign government funding.
8. #5 - well, incitement IS illegal in most countries
William ,   Israel   (11.21.11)
including Canada. My guess is if a station was inciting against Canada, something like Radio Islam North America, the govt would move to act against it. Funny how you would equate "nationalism" and "fascism". Does that mean that "Foreigner interference", "loss of sovereignty" and "democracy" are able to be equated?
9. Did anyone actually listen to this station
rebecca ,   Modiin   (11.21.11)
who could comment on their content? Not long ago there was an English speaking station, for Israelis and Arabs, supposedly run from Ramalla until the presenters got scared, and then they ran it illegally from Jerusalem. It was VERY left wing, bordering on incitement. And the more Israel said they had to have an Israeli license, the more Anti-Israel it became.
10. What about Meretz MK closing Arutz Sheva
zionist forever   (11.21.11)
In 2003 Meretz MK Zehava Galon manged to get the right wing pro settlement radio station Arutz Sheva closed down. The station had transmitted from a ship at sea for 14 years until she came and manged to get it closed down on the grounds it was a pirate radio station. Once she managed to get the radio station closed down she went after the website claiming an article written about the intifada was inciting the murder of hundreds of thousands of palestinians. Thankfully that time she failed but it didnt stop her going after the Jerusalem Post earlier his year on the same incitement to murder charge. The left love to tell us no freedom of the press is being censured and how the government is picking on the left but when it come to attacking free press and trying to silence anybody who disagrees with them then the left win the prize every time.
