"This is a painful story," said Atty. Ilan Papo. "How is it that in the
course of 15 years, the nationalist public, and especially its MKs, were
unable to legislate some kind of law that would enable Arutz-7 to broadcast?
After all, Arutz-7 is not just some fly-by-night pirate station - it
represents an entire public sector in Israel, much larger than its tens or
hundreds of thousands of listeners..." He also noted the essential lack of
fairness in the court conviction, in that Abie Natan was allowed for many
years to operate his left-wing Voice of Peace station from a ship anchored
the same distance from the shore, or less, as Arutz-7's ship...
