Menashe Amir, Persian- Israeli broadcaster


For nearly six decades, persians woke up to the famous opening words of Amir’s daily broadcast: “Here [in] Jerusalem: This is Voice of Israel.”How was anyone in post-revolutionary homeland, which has an official state policy identifying Israel as an enemy state, able to call a radio station in Jerusalem? Persians called a phone number in Germany, and their calls were routed to Israel.
