Britain’s advertising watchdog has banned an Israeli government tourism advert for suggesting that the Old City of Jerusalem was part of Israel, AFP reported.
The newspaper brochure showed a panorama of the walled Old City with the text “Israel has it all”, and was ruled misleading by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), which said it implied the UNESCO World Heritage Site was part of Israel.
The international community regards the Old City as “occupied Palestinian territory” and has never recognized Israel’s annexation of parts of Jerusalem it liberated during the Six Day War.
Following a complaint, the ASA ruled the title of the brochure “Israel Land of Creation” and references to Old City attractions was misleading and banned the advert from appearing again in its current form, according to AFP. …

PC has come in , meaning the left have been working towards political correctness to silence opposition and it seems to be working sadly.
One only has to look at the GOP today and see how they shy away from saying illegals are illegal or marriage is between one man and one woman..
By UNESCO? Anything is Islamically possible.
“Oil money”? Whence the Libspeak?
Yup.
Islam is over taking Europe. And it’s happening a lot faster than I ever thought it would. I’m in my sixties and there’s a chance I’ll live to see it.
And Israel? The countries that established Israel has now officially turned on her.
Well, sooner or later, the UK will ban adds saying London is not islamist...
“Great” Britain bending the knee to islam... Good bye, fellas. Nice knowing you. We are likely not far behind, at the rate things are going.
It is not “libspeak” to point out that Britain has chosen the Arab cause (not so much out of Anti-Semitism as much as oil money) rather than the Jewish cause. The Balfour Declaration gave all of Palestine back to the Jews. When the Arabs protested, the British concerned about oil agreements with the Arabs, backed out. This is simply common knowledge...
“Out of order, wrong way out of order. yesterday a Royal marine vet just died fighting IS”
Sorry pal, no disrespect to your military, they are like ours, stalwart warriors. But also like America, you have a bunch of chickenshit socialist/marxists in your government who are pandering to the muzzies! Reagan and Thatcher have been gone way too long! My ancestors came from the British Isles. It was the best of that area that founded this country. Sadly we both have too few of those same kinds of people today having allowed ourselves to be inundated with “trash people” from other parts of the world who are lazy and shiftless but think they have a right to take over what we have built.
No I agree. The whole of the west is on a path to self-destruct .
I grew up during the 80’s and with Thatcher and Reagan and wish we could go back to them instead of the PC wimpy crap we have today.
Our whole history and the brave who gave their lives to make the countries great is coming to a point where they died for nothing. We let in these people and then they get their way while our best go over there and die and for what?
So third world immigrants can just siphon off the welfare and tell us how to run the country backed up by a bunch of fairy left wing kooks.
You obviously can sense my frustration and I’m not directing it at you pal.
“I grew up during the 80’s and with Thatcher and Reagan and wish we could go back to them instead of the PC wimpy crap we have today.”
No kidding. Man I miss the 80s. I don’t think people realize how much fun it was and still free. The Country now is alien to me and I’m not even 50 yet.
Same here. Loved the 80’s. Much better times than today and feel bad for the kids, especially my kids who are growing up in such a wimpy, PC era.
So “oil” influences the presence of Muslims in the island of Britain? They are (in the majority) formerly from British India (which includes Pakistan, India and Bangladesh), and that area is nowhere near the Levant, never mind nowhere near the producer of oil like Saudi Arabia or any other Middle Eastern producer.
Them boys gonna be shocked when they find out what God says belongs to Israel.
“No I agree. The whole of the west is on a path to self-destruct .”
Well, some of the killing the muzzies have done in a couple of European countries seemingly has given them pause as regards their current immigration practices. Denmark, The Netherlands and Germany come to mind. Nothing will change here in the US for at least two years, and maybe not even then depending on who the Republicans end up running. If we some how have the misfortune to get El Senor Jeb, “Reverend” Huck, Rubio ( our senator from Cuba) or Hitlary, we’re done!
This is one decision by an ad standards agency. much as I disagree with it, its hardly govt policy.
Stupid decision, but no, it isn’t.
Hey!. There are several British members here, of which I am one. We don’t disrespect America with such language, don’t disrespect our country. I grasp your anger, but moderate the language please.
Our pasty white asses will still be here in a long time. Stupid decisions aside.
