IBA censors B‘Tselem radio spot listing names of Gazan children killed; B‘Tselem to petition HCJ, spot gets massive exposure on social media

B‘Tselem learned from the media today that the Israel Broadcast Authority (IBA) had rejected an appeal against IBA Radio’s refusal to air a spot in which the names of Gazan children killed during Operation Protective Edge were read out. In response, B‘Tselem posted the censored spot on Facebook. Within hours, almost 300,000 people had been exposed to the names and the post was shared more than 900 times.
