The Jewish Channel: Ministry Of Immigrant Absorption

North America Dept: But a series sponsored by Israeli officials that appears to contrast Israeli Jews with their counterparts in North America raised eyebrows this week after being noted on the website of The Jewish Channel, according to The Star. One ad in Hebrew features a Skype conversation during Chanukah between a child in America and her grandparents in Israel. When the elderly couple ask her what holiday it is, the girl answers, Christmas! Informative videos made by the government don t typically become YouTube hits. The ads, which have been viewed tens of thousands of times each on YouTube, are part of an official campaign by the Netanyahu government s Ministry of Immigrant Absorption to convince Israelis living abroad to come back home.
