BTW, Gov´t Raids Shas Radio Stations
The Shas Party convened an urgent meeting this afternoon, in light of the police raids today on 11 unlicensed religious radio stations. Police and Communications Authority personnel closed down the Jerusalem-area stations, confiscating much equipment.
"They have taken our transmitters in order to shut us up," Shas leaders said today, "but we will fight to the finish." The stations are popularly known as "the holy channels," and in fact broadcast mostly religious, inspirational, and charity-oriented programming.
