JERUSALEM: After a wave of complaints, Israel's government has cancelled a public relations campaign aimed at encouraging Israelis living in the United States to return home.
The Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, ordered the campaign to be shelved after receiving a letter from the Jewish Federations of North America that said the message of the advertisements and videos was ''outrageous and insulting''.

Careful, reporting that the "Jewish Federations of North America" have asked Israel to stop their ad campaign, which was at the least in bad taste, is antisemitic around these parts. You'll also be introduced to countless articles explaining how horrible Israels enemies are and how they do things much worse than this, and since you didn't mention those acts, you must fully support them.
I find the ad campaign in bad taste myself, there are plenty of valid reasons to visit Israel for Jews and non Jews alike, no need to make it against another religion, which it inevitably does become against another religion.
But those religions don't have special terms for that, and don't have special laws that make it illegal.

I’m surprised that the ads were pulled!
After all, so many people dislike the Jews, right? Why would anyone in America want the anti-diaspora ads removed if they’d lead to Jews leaving America??? Isn’t that what many of you would like to see happen?
Oh wait, then they’d leave here and head to the Israel where they apparently shouldn’t be allowed to live!
Man, this is confusing!! Where should Jews live?
That has to be one of the most moronic posts I have ever seen.
Who said they don't want Jews in America?
Who said they don't want Jews in Israel?
You're post had various ignorant overtones that were very difficult to ignore.

The Republican Jewish Coalition declined to invite Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) to its presidential candidates forum next Wednesday in Washington, citing his "misguided and extreme views."
RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks said Paul was not invited because the organization rejects his views. "He's just so far outside of the mainstream of the Republican party and this organization," he told Washington Jewish Week, adding that inviting him would be like inviting President Barack Obama.
"The U.S. sends about $3 billion per year to Israel in military aid alone."
I never gave you a star Einstein
I only star posts that contain at least a basic level level of intelligence, which yours did not
I have seen you on a few threads spreading propaganda and labeling criticism of Israel as Anti Semitic. Here is a video you might enjoy, it exposes the pathetic trick that you're trying to pull.
