When searching for the letter Aleph in http://google.co.il, an ad appears which says : "Death penalty to Dan Halutz. Dan Halutz is a war criminal. War criminals should be hanged".

The link leads to page on Wikipedia about Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi commander who was tried in Israel and hanged.

More searches for the sam letter returns ads with the approximatly the same text but leading to the website of the Israeli army and the Israeli secret service.

The screenshot of the ad can be found in my blog

Did you contact the google adsense team with this ? It would be interesting to see how these ads were reviewed/approved!!

The Israeli office of Google knows about it.

Three hours after writing about it in by blog, the ads are gone.
