Communications Minister David Amsalem intervenes in the "burning of the Book of Psalms" affair in a "survival" reality with a letter of extremely sharp message that he sent to the chairman of the Second Authority.

As we reported to you this morning (Tuesday), in the conversation among the famous on the Island of "Survival" the possibility of burning a Psalm was raised. Ido Kuzhikaru, to whom the outrageous statement is attributed, apologized for it, producing the program claiming that it was a joke and not the essence of which would be made clear in the show that aired tonight, but the spirits following the scandal did not subside, but only intensified.

Thus, the minister wrote: "The section in which one of the participants proposes to burn the Book of Psalms is one of the greatest and most despicable visions on the Israeli background. The prime time of commercial Israeli television, in the flagship program of Network 13, may not give expression to such slime, and so blatantly and severely hurt the emotions Of millions of Jewish, religious and traditional Jews, "wrote Minister David Amsalem.

"Since this is a program that is at all recorded, it is a very misguided and puzzling judgment of the program editors and channel managers who choose to broadcast the segment as a promo and program, and in fact give this behavior an expression and a backdrop," he further argued: "If such a segment were broadcast overseas The anti-Semitic content and the violation of Judaism, and rightly so - so it is hard for me to understand how this abomination gets a screen on a commercial channel in the Jewish state, and it must be regretted and condemned. "

He further emphasized: "I would like to make an immediate inquiry with network administrators 13 and find out why the promo for the broadcast was approved, and if it is still not possible to broadcast the entire section of the evening program, and how the case will be handled on all possible levels."
