Slandering Ms. Magazine to Sell Israel

Ms Magazine is being attacked by those who support Israel no matter what. The American feminist magazine and its readers have been called "hostile" to Israel because the editors refused to run an ad that says "This is Israel" and shows three Israeli women in high public offices. Ms. Magazine said the reason it rejects the ad is that it promotes women from the same political party and therefore violates their policy of not interfering into the domestic politics of other countries.
