UK Bans Israeli Tourism Ad for Showing Jerusalem’s Old City as Part of Israel.(Wapo).
British authorities have banned an Israeli government tourism ad because it suggests that Yerushalayim’s Old City is a part of Israel.
The ad, a brochure titled "Israel Land of Creation," was inserted in British newspapers earlier this week.
According to Agence France-Presse, it showed "a panorama of the walled Old City with the text 'Israel has it all.'"
The ban came after a complaint from a reader who noted that the ad implied "the Old City of Jerusalem was internationally recognized as part of Israel."
The Israeli government said it did not intend to make a political statement and that places such as the Old City of Jerusalem could be visited by traveling to Israel. Hmmm.......That's like claiming the Tower of London is Islamic. Read the full story here.
