Dozens of Israeli Zionist rabbis, many of them heads of institutions, declared in an open letter on Aug. 3 that they will no longer buy products from the Strauss Group food and beverage company after it pulled its advertising from Channel 14.
The rabbis expressed shock at the Strauss Group’s decision to use its “economic power to impose a political agenda on public opinion in Israel.” They likened it to “communist Russia” where only left-wing, atheistic views could be voiced.
