So, if Im understanding this correctly, the Israeli Supreme Court decided that the reading of the names and ages of Palestinian children who were killed in Gaza, because or despite its being factually accurate, is not allowed in a paid commercial. This is because the atmosphere (רוח) of the commercial is political. That is, despite the uncontested fact that the Israeli news programs never mention the names and ages of Palestinian children killed in Gaza, and that this information may help the Israeli viewer contribute to the political conversation about the war, the information is not allowed to be broadcast in a paid commercial because this gets around the monopoly that the news programs have on conveying information. Another brick in the wall…
