Overview
- The Hostages and Missing Families Forum accused the Beit Shemesh yeshiva of copying its designs, slogans and signature yellow symbols without permission.
- Attorney Asa Kling of Naschitz, Brandes, Amir sent the warning, alleging copyright and trademark infringement, deception and false association.
- The move follows a protest outside Military Prison 10 in which Ateret Shlomo affiliates wore yellow hats and carried yellow balloons linked to the hostages campaign.
- The Forum’s complaint, as reported by Matzav, cites a parody poster replacing ‘Bring Them Home’ with ‘Bring Him Back to Yeshiva’ and threatens further legal action within three days.
- Yeshiva head Rabbi Shalom Ber Sorotzkin publicly defended the protest imagery, asserting the hostages cause belongs to all and rejecting claims of wrongdoing.
