An Israeli-funded Super Bowl ad calling for the return of fathers captured by Hamas in their October 7 attack on Israel drew more complaints than any other ad that ran during the championship game, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) documents claim.

As TMZ Sports reports, the ad, titled Bring All Dads Back Home, conveyed the message, “All the dads held in captivity by Hamas for over 120 days, we vow to bring you home.”

Fans on s ocial media and activists claim the ad lacked FCC-mandated disclaimers, making it clear that the Israeli government funded the content. Interestingly, as TMZ Sports reports, nearly all complaints about the ad used almost identical language, in part, “CBS violated FCC rules by not properly disclosing to viewers on all platforms that ads aired during the Super Bowl were paid for by the Israeli government.”

“During the recent broadcast of the Super Bowl, CBS aired an ad that was paid for by the State of Israel,” wrote the ADC, a group that describes itself as an Arab-American civil rights organization. “This advertisement was aired without the proper disclaimers mandated by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations. This not only undermines the integrity of broadcasting standards but also misleads the public by not providing necessary context about the ad’s origins..”

The ADC called on the FCC to take action against CBS, the network that broadcasted the Super Bowl...

I’ve suddenly realized why the Jews response to the Holocaust was ‘Never again.’

The complainers (or bots) really don’t understand. They are too far gone to know that the return of hostages would help end the war.

I wonder how many of the Muslims who complained even watched the game or saw the ads?

How many people really believe anything that any Federal Agencies misrepresent as the truth as these agencies fight against our very way of life?

Not a lot, but enough to support the minority position in a news cycle.
