Tourist ad falls foul of UK watchdog for claiming Jerusalem belongs to Israel

[Phoenall]

Who gives a frog's fat ass what a Brit Watchdog NPO says about Israel? Phukk 'em.

Is there anything that Israel does not lie about?

The UK’s advertising watchdog has banned the Israeli Government Tourist Office from using an ad which implies that Jerusalem’s Old City is part of Israel.

This branch of the Israeli government has a track record of producing ads which either wipe the occupied West Bank and Gaza off the map or eliminate any trace of Palestinian history, heritage and culture from the land in order to promote Israel as a travel destination.

The IGTO’s latest publication is a glossy 32-page brochure, titled “Taste of Israel,” which was distributed in February by the supermarket Waitrose.

Tourist ad falls foul of UK watchdog for claiming Jerusalem belongs to Israel The Electronic Intifada​

I don't see how any of that constitutes lying by Israel (they are not required to promote the WB or Gaza) but claiming it to be lies does constitute lying by you in order to once again serve your mindless hatred. BTW, that "UK watchdog" is not the arbiter of what is and is not Israeli territory. Sorry.

And of course you are, mindless Jackass?

It only applies in the UK and is to protect consumers from unscrupulous companies. Many muslim firms have fallen foul of the same rules and been aggressive when told to cease giving misleading information out.

Yes, this is a reasonable question. I can only hope I do the answer justice.

Why is it that East Jerusalem was considered occupied and West Jerusalem was not?

(PREFACE)

The de facto division of The Holy City of Jerusalem was established by the Israel-Jordan Armistice Agreement of 3 April 1949. [This Agreement had no effect on the Partition Resolution's provisions for the internationalisation of Jerusalem. - See more at: The status of Jerusalem - CEIRPP DPR study 1981 - DPR publication 1 January 1981
See: Annex I --- The Map follows annex II, and Article V of the Agreement.

The Armistice Line through the City remained intact from the time of the Armistice, until the Jordanians entered the Six-Day War and resumed Hostilities in 1967, siding with the Egyptians under a mutual defense agreement.

(COMMENT)

At the time of the Armistice (1949) a stalemate had been reached, with the Israeli Forces controlling West Jerusalem and Jordan holding the Old City and the adjacent Arab quarters in East Jerusalem. From April 1949 until April 1950, Jordan occupied the West Bank under the Armistice. In June 1967 Israel declared Jerusalem reunified and annexed it as part of Israel; in the same fashion as Jordan had done twenty year before.

From April 1950 through August 1988, the West Bank was sovereign Jordanian Territory; having been annexed with general public approval of the Palestinian people. During the period since August 1967, the West Bank came under occupation by Israel as a military outcome to the 1967 Six-Day War to silence Jordanian Artillery fire into Israel and prevent military reinforcements from Jordan. In July 1988, Jordan cut all ties with the West Bank.

At that point (31 July 1988), as a consequence of Jordanian executive action, the West Bank became ungoverned territory (neither under a Palestinian Government, UN Trusteeship, or sovereign under Jordan); under occupation rule of the Israelis. This is a significant BREAK-POINT.

Had Jordan not entered the Six-Day War, chances are that the West Bank and Half of Jerusalem would still be sovereign Jordanian Territory.​

The City of Jerusalem and the West Bank had very different political policies applied to them. By law, NO Palestinian Territory had been occupied in the West Bank or Jerusalem. It was either under sovereign Jordanian Authority or Israeli Authority; never under Palestinian Authority. In late November 1988, the Palestinians declared independence. The only ungoverned territory remaining (BREAK-POINT) at that time was the West Bank; less Jerusalem.

That didn't answer the question.
