Billboards promoting tonight’s Lady Gaga concert in Tel Aviv were plastered over last week with large white stickers in Jerusalem after a city councilman from the Sefardi haredi Shas Party, Nati Lasri, complained the billboards were "abominations" and “immodest,” i24 News reported based on a report in the Hebrew language daily Yedioth Aharonot.
Those billboards and related posters were “like putting up a poster supporting a Hamas charity at the IDF's central enlistment center,” Lasri said.
In a letter to the director-general of the Jerusalem municipality, Lasri wrote that he was "shocked to wake up to see billboards promoting an abomination which badly hurts the feelings of the majority of Jerusalem's male and female residents."
After the city stickered over the billboards to accommodate Lasri, he said he was happy the city had covered up the abominations, which only serve as "fuel for radicals who want to ignite the city.”
