Fwd: UK Forces Israel Tourism Ministry to Remove Picture

from Jack and Jill!

"Representatives of the Palestinian Tourism Ministry feature a map of Palestine which shows all of Israel's regions, including Ben-Gurion Airport, as Palestine's major airport, but the British never complained abut that."

 

Oh, but that's so-o-o-o different!

UK Forces Israel Tourism Ministry to Remove Picture of Dead Sea Scrolls Site - Danny Sadeh (Ynet News)
    The British Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has asked the Israel Tourism Ministry office in the UK to remove an advertisement featuring a photo of the Qumran Caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.
    The photo appeared under the heading: "It takes six hours to cross Israel. Imagine what you can experience in seven days."
    The ASA claimed the advertisement misleads the reader into thinking that Qumran is located within pre-1967 Israel, while it is actually located in the administered territories.
    A senior Israeli tourism official noted: "Representatives of the Palestinian Tourism Ministry feature a map of Palestine which shows all of Israel's regions, including Ben-Gurion Airport, as Palestine's major airport, but the British never complained abut that."
