To drum up tourism, Israel is running some Israelis came up with an ad that is both tacky and offensive. Mark Shea criticized the ad, and pointed out that Israel is a secular nation-state that Christians should not invest with special theological significance. Mike Potemra, in this space, then criticized Shea as an anti-Israeli prude. Shea can’t believe that “NRO is going to bat” for the ad. No: Mike Potemra is. (As it happens, I think Shea’s initial comments were correct.)
