Homophobic political ads are legal, says Israeli judge in a ruling

The party, Noam, was denied space on the outside wall of a Jerusalem hotel and on bus sides for posters that read «‘Pride’ and the buying of children or my son will marry a woman – Israel chooses to be normal».

It petitioned a parliamentary body chaired by Israeli Supreme Court justice Neal Hendel, who ruled that under election law, companies must sell advertising space to any party that wants it or none at all.

«A duty of equality (includes) the commitment to publish election propaganda of all parties and lists, including those whose values ​​are different… from those of the advertising agency», Hendel said in his judgement on Tuesday.

That concludes that it’s ok to be homophobic as long it’s in political ad context in Israel.
