A few months after a homophobic cover of Channel 14's print magazine under the caption "Lahtbistan" succeeded in provoking a protest, the channel
is doing it again and publishing a cover and an "investigative" article about young people who have undergone sex reassignment treatments and regret, what the channel defines as "abuse of minors".
The proud Hoshan youth told Walla! Barangay: "When we thought that Channel 14 could not inflame even more hatred and division in society, we discovered that even when it comes to programming that directly harms human life - all means are kosher.
"We can talk about the fact that gender reassignment surgeries are prohibited in Israel under the age of 18, and even after that are required by a professional committee of the Ministry of Health. We can refer to the professional position of the Ministry of Education, which guides teachers to confirm and provide a safe place for trans youth in schools. We can even refer to the position of the Ministry of Education The health that says conversion attempts, attempts that do not allow a person to be protected as he is, endangers life.
"But instead, we will choose to refer to the hate-filled processes that we have seen in recent months in Israel - since the change of government. In recent months, we have seen a consistent and clear process of infiltration of conservative and hate-filled messages and division on the part of elected officials whose goal is to produce a discourse of 'us' and they'.

"Channel 14, which serves the same agenda, and consistently incites hatred and division in Israeli society, does so even when it comes to programming that directly harms human life. Instead of creating a safe place for everyone, there is an orchestrated and long delegitimization against the gay community and not only against it - Against all those who believe in freedom and liberality.
"Let us say clearly - we will not allow anyone to harm the gay community and most of all - the youth!
Anyone.
Not to experts on their own behalf, not to media channels full of hate and incitement, not to anyone who wants to harm us.
We will not allow you to say that gender adjustment treatments, which are life-saving treatments, are abuse of minors.
We will not allow you to call us a disease that needs to be cured.
We will not allow you to say that we castrate children.
not going to happen.
Not on our shift.
We will continue to spread light and we will fight for it with every legal means we have.
Because no one, no one, will be allowed to harm the youth," it was reported.
Channel 14 has yet to respond to the statements.
The previous homophobic cover.

As I recall, despite the minority of its readers, the cover of the Channel 14 magazine under the caption "Lahtbistan" managed to provoke a widespread protest on social networks at the time against the channel - and also against its advertisers, who reluctantly became identified with content that does not really converge with their brand values. Following the cover
, In which the readers were directed to the article under the subtitle "This is how the radical left organizations control the LGBT religion over the State of Israel", journalists identified with the gay community even stated that they would stop being interviewed by the channel.
Yedioth Ahronoth's parliamentary reporter Yuval Karni wrote, for example, that "I have journalist friends at Channel 14, I'm interviewed there from time to time when I'm invited and I have no problem with a political agenda. But after this I won't be interviewed by them again?"
At the same time, prominent figures in the community began to call on the public not to purchase products from companies that advertise on the channel.
