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. …

Why doesn’t Great Britistan just declare war on Israel and dispense with all of the stupid pretense? Nobody is fooled by the baby steps.
That doesn’t even make sense. The arabs only occupied that territory circa 1929 because they invaded. The Jewish population there predates Islam and they got it back in 1967.
So 38 years of arab rule trumps 2,000 years of Jewish rule?
Bizarre.
Is Britain going to start printing maps with their claim of the Falklands erased next because some people might be offended?
Britain is now part of the Islamist Caliphate. They are acting accordingly. Churchill and Thatcher were the last true Englishmen.
GB needs to go EFF itself.
Had this argument so many times and it usually ends when I say when was Judea around and where was Judea.
These left wing clowns have no idea before 1948 and think Israel just looked at a map, chose a location and said lets move there it seems nice weather.

Jerusalem will be part of Israel for many, many centuries after Londonistan is lost to England
(kiss your a@@’s goodbye, good British friends, your ruling elite has sold you out to the Islamonazis)
Out of order, wrong way out of order. yesterday a Royal marine vet just died fighting IS and have lost many sons to fight the Taliban and helped in Iraq so next time you say FU then I suggest you work along side them and see how they have helped the United States in our wars.
It’s a tourism ad about ACCESS to sites that people would want to visit. So it’s perfectly legitimate and accurate to represent that the Old City is one of the cites to which tourists would have easy access if they made a trip to Israel. They never said in the ad that Israel had OWNERSHIP - which is irrelevant. Tourists don’t need Israel to own any particular sites, they just need access.
This is how your thinking is skewed when your country is brimming with jihadists.
Now the British government is censoring tourist ads?
(I think Gibraltar is illegally occupied territory, too.)
Small as NJ - getting cut down to Rhode Island.
Yes Britain, the “Sun has set on your empire”. When the truth comes out, it may be because you put oil money over truth and righteousness...;-(
The problem, manc, is that both of our countries are expending the blood of the best of our societies - and putting up with scum at home. RIP to your Royal Marine.
Just like all the west, including here and Canada. Well have problems with muslims turning terrorists.
Totally agree.
We send the best from here and the UK over there to then put up with the scumbags here, give them welfare, free reign to spout their garbage.
So sad
we all , not well
What is wrong with us?????????????
