Israeli Protest Group's All-Black Ads Spark Market Slump and Investor Caution
The Israeli Hi-Tech Protest movement paid for all-black front-page ads in several major Israeli newspapers to protest the passing of the Law to Cancel the Reasonableness Standard. The ads, which read "A black day for Israeli Democracy," were criticized for having small text at the top indicating they were paid advertisements. The bill passed into law with a 64-0 vote, prompting the opposition to boycott the vote.
