I can't find the message, but someone stated here that Arutz Sheva is not illegal any more. This needs clarification.
Arutz Sheva is not a legally registered radio station in Israel, but it is legal for it to broadcast from international waters into Israel. That's the sense in which it is legal. One of the things that 4 former managers were sentenced to jail terms for was for broadcasting from land then falsely testifying in court that they were broadcasting from off the coast. Currently the prosecution is appealing the sentences (3-6 months) as too lenient, so you can see just how happy the authorities are about this bunch. See http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/392420.html .
There is also a move afoot in the Knesset to make Arutz Sheva legal. A bill has been introduced to that effect. I don't know what the chances of it passing are.
OneVoice has a history of posting doubtful stories from Arutz Sheva. At [[Refusal to serve in the Israeli military]] he posted a claim that some general had said that refusal to serve had dropped by 80%. What the general had really said was that *convictions* for refusing to serve had dropped by 80%. I replaced the false claim by the correct story together with all the details (actual numbers of convictions from the general's testimony) and citation of my sources, but OneVoice just went into his usual obsessive reversion loop regardless. I don't accept the good faith assumption, this has happened too many times. He is here with a mission and that mission has nothing to do with writing a good encyclopedia.
Zero.
