From US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation of Palestine DIRECTV Censors Our Gaza Strip TV Ad!

::::::::


Gaza Television Ad (Long Version)

 

 

 

DIRECTV Censors Our Gaza Strip TV Ad!


We thought, "What better way to bring this important information to the attention of people in the United States than to advertise nationally on DIRECTV?" the largest satellite television subscription service in the country.

After detailed discussions with DIRECTV, including agreement on rates, times, and network placements of the ad, when we gave them the final product, they abruptly decided not to do business with us.

This blatant act of censorship is preventing millions of U.S. households from learning the truth about our government's crucial role in enabling Israel's war on and siege of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

DO SOMETHING:

Watch both an extended internet version and the original 30-second commercial by clicking here:
