Lis, a self-proclaimed progressive and strong supporter of Israel, whose husband is Israeli and whose son is in the Israeli Defense Forces, wanted her message to celebrate Israel. Eventually she settled on "Happy 68th Birthday Israel." Israel celebrates Independence Day this year on May 12.
Initially, "blessing" was in her message, but the station said that implied something religious, so she dropped that word. Then the station said it couldn't accommodate the wish because it needed two months' notice.
Then the station rejected the message outright.
Of course they did. If you're going to be a proud progressive, forget the Israel nonsense. Concentrate on bathrooms, who can use which.

Let’s face it, not to support Israel is suicidal for America..

The answer to your question about whether or not we would allow a "Happy Birthday Norway" is no. . . . We would not air such a message.
If that's the case, then I can't see a problem with this. If they allowed someone to wish Saudi Arabia a happy birthday and then pulled this, I would definitely see a problem with it. I think it's stupid to refuse to allow a listener to air good wishes for another nation in the first place, but that's another issue.

That station should see a deficit of $365 next year.

What? Did I enter the Twilight Zone? An alternate universe? Is PBS claiming “imparitality”?

"We have determined that this message would compromise the station's commitment to impartiality".....and as we all know, if there's one word that describes Public Radio, it's "impartial."
To: SJackson
The promoters of Social Justice really think they are impartial.

It’s almost as if Israelis are the new Jews.

They may not be ‘right’ but they’re certainly politically correct.

The NPR station in my area spends at least 20 minutes out of each hour painting Israel as the boogeymen of the world.
It has for the last 30 years.
