the Supreme Court against the decision on false premise of illegal broadcasting in Israel

December, 1st 2011

All for Peace radio station’s Israeli frequency was forced to go off air on Thursday, November 17th, 2011 due to false allegations by Israeli police, propelled by right-wind forces that are attempting to limit freedom of speech and the media in Israel.

On Sunday December 4th  at 9:30 am  , All For Peace are petitioning the Supreme Court against the order to go off air, based on the premise that the station’s transmitter is located in Ramallah and FM dial frequencies can be reached from wide geographic locations through Israel. All For Peace has been in its studios located in East Jerusalem since 2003 and are broadcasting on their License issued by the Palestinian Communication Ministry, to broadcast Hebrew on 107.2 FM; and Arabic on 87.8 FM.

Since last Thursday we’ve – the staff of All For Peace with our volunteers and supporters -started a campaign in Israel to raise awareness to the public of what the government of Israel is doing. They have accused us of incitement, calling for violence against Israeli, and illegal radio station.

All For Peace is a peace building, people to people Radio station, it’s  is one of the region’s leading independent media outlets with an established name-recognition as a joint Israeli-Palestinian cutting-edge media platform , Calling for an End of the Occupation, promoting freedom of Speech, equality, human rights, democracy and Peace in the region.

We are currently lobbing within Israeli Politicians, diplomats representatives, private foundations, Universities, US State Department, the Congress, Members of Parliament in the UK, Holland, Germany and others , to call their representatives in Israel, to condemn the shutdown of the Hebrew broadcast, to get a political pressure on the Israeli Government.

Currently the Arabic frequency airs regularly and the Hebrew frequency is available in a fuller version online via www.allforpeace.org.
