Israel's regulator has ordered an evangelical Christian broadcaster's new channel off the air, saying it applied to serve a Christian audience but instead has sought to persuade Jews with the gospel of Jesus.
In a statement, the Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Council said its chairman, Asher Biton, told the Israeli cable provider Hot on Thursday that evangelical broadcaster God TV's channel Shelanu — which means "ours" in Hebrew — must come off the air in seven days.
"An examination of the council's supervision wing shows that the channel does not appeal to the Christian population in Israel, but rather to the Jews," the council said in a written statement. "Therefore, the characterization of the channel submitted for approval does not reflect its broadcasts."
The spokesman for Shelanu, Ron Cantor, Israel regional director for God TV, said it was false that the broadcaster had broken its agreement.

Most Democratic Country Ally in Middle East® is more than happy to accept money and military support from Christians, but make no mistake; the gospel of Jesus Christ is not welcome. And so while you may feel obligated to support them, their support for you is purely superficial. Give us your Christian tourism dollars, give us the blood of your Christian boys to fight our wars, but dont try to share your savior with us, or we'll run you out of the country.
