Quote:

The Israeli government has ordered adverts that urge Israelis in the US to return home to be pulled amid outcry from the American Jewish community.The ads suggest expats could lose touch with their Israeli identity because of assimilation into the US.Funded by an Israeli government agency, the campaign was criticised by US Jewish organisations.The ads were posted on the agency's website and ran on Hebrew-language US satellite channels.The campaign, which featured billboards in some US cities, has three Hebrew-language video ads.
