Ha’ir (the city, in Hebrew) is a Tel Aviv local newspaper, that usually was distributed for free.
Last week they changed the concept, and now it cost 5 Shekels. They launched a campaign to promote the move.
See the new Ha’ir logo in their site:

Add to that the fact that ManarTV reported that the words on the balloons is the Hebrew word for “caution” (Haza’er).

Arutz Sheva reported Sunday that ManarTV mis-read the name of the newspaper (which is Ha’ir) as Haza’er (caution). Just goes to show how propaganda is being used to fuel the flames of hate.

I read the Naharnet story too. Did not make any sense and Nahar did not even bother to give background or comment by anyone knowlegeable. Horrible journalism by our “best” paper.
