Gary Lesin-Davis ,   Liverpool   (04.14.10)
The abbreviated name ASA is in fact misleading surely the last A was meant to be an S
2. What I want to say, I can not print but,
Don Saliman ,   Nahal Oz, Israel   (04.14.10)
how much more can we take, when Israel is damned no matter what she does. Not even our holy sites can we claim,without hate and ignorance from the world.
3. Why don't they advertise holiday's in Gaza?
Jerusalem   (04.14.10)
They are reputed to have the best beaches along the Israel coastline. Excuse me what did you say? it's not safe there? - Oh I got you now. The British are a nation of cold holier than thou misfits who are in serious need of some enlightening lessons.
4. I wonder...
Sharon ,   Netanya   (04.14.10)
If we dont have any rights on the western wall we dont have any right on the other part of Israel. This is a distortion of the history by the arab affect in England itself. I wonder when London will b moslem... its not a question of "if"
5. To the British Advertizing Standarts Authority........
Nora Tel aviv   (04.14.10)
.....can you tell us why your British flag symbolizes a world empire where the sun never sets? In other words...can a tourist visit the occupied Argentinian Malvinas improperly called Falklands by their British occupiers? Your standards STINK.
6. Unbelivable !
Ofer Mousai ,   Tel Aviv   (04.14.10)
but the picture was taken from the jewish side of jerusalem which is Israels territory. and jews use to come the wailing wall for the last 2000 years. I guess they really don`t know S**t about S**t in your country. please pardon my spelling . i don`t want to bother with a spell check, the ASA just isn`t worth it :D
7. so the west wall of the jewish temple isn't jewish?
ghostq   (04.14.10)
ok than London belong to Ireland. the same thing.
8. Not part of Israel?
Wulf Gerienger   (04.14.10)
As far as I know, the Western Wall is very much a part of Israel. It's a part of Israel in the bible. It was conquered by Israel from the hands of the remnants of the Ottomani Empire. It is currently in full Israeli control, and abides Israeli law. This article is the result of ASA's chairman's Lebanese muslim wife, who's probably pulling him by his weener wherever she wants him to be. Pathetic.
9. ASA should check the facts - it is "disputed" not "occupied"
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & New York   (04.14.10)
The legal status of East Jerusalem is disputed according to the Israel-Jordan peace treaty and UN resolutions. They should get their facts straight rather than their propaganda.
10. London is moslem already
ofer ,   Israel   (04.14.10)
so is Paris and Rome, amsterdam, brussels and a lot of other places in Europe. I can a sure you one thing - when they will start slathering you, we will not be there for help.
11. Yerushalayim is 'occupied territory'?
SETTHERECORDSTRAIGHT   (04.14.10)
Since the 'balfour compromise' and even before this, the British have been trying to meddle in our affairs, and not on our behalf. This is proof that we need to say, as a nation and as a people: TO HELL WITH WHAT THE GOYIM SAY. THIS IS OUR LAND, FROM HASHEM. IT IS BLESSED AND WE ARE HIS BLESSED CHILDREN AND WE WILL DO AND WE WILL LISTEN - ONLY TO HIM. UK, UN, US AND ALL OF U's CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT - IT IS STILL PART OF THE JEWISH HOMELAND, OUR COUNTRY, OUR STATE, OUR LAND. THIS IS BETWEEN US AND HA KADOSH BARUCH HU (THE ALMIGHTY), AND NOT ANYONE ELSE: NOT THE 'PALIS', NOR THE EUROS, NOR THE U.S.
12. it doesn't matter
(04.14.10)
as when Moshiach comes: IT WILL ALL BE UNDENIABLY JEWISH.
13. MALVINAS islend is not UK
ali babashvilli ,   london   (04.14.10)
14. Good, does this mean the PLO will have to change their map?
daniel   (04.14.10)
15. East London- for Osama Bin Laden !
Yair Ben-Tzvi ,   Eilat, Israel   (04.14.10)
16. How dare they open their mouths
Shalom Hartman   (04.14.10)
This is blatent anti-Israel prejudice if ever I saw it. The Western Wall is at the heart of Israel and the Jewish people, and always will be.
17. To: No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.14.10)
“The legal status of East Jerusalem is disputed according to the Israel-Jordan peace treaty and UN resolutions” Actually you are wrong East Jerusalem is under Israeli occupation as per International Law and I should know as I have a Master's in International Affairs. For the sake of following your line of thought even if the legal status of East Jerusalem was ‘disputed’ this would still not confirm Israeli ownership of the holy sites. I hope this clarifies matters for you.
18. why there were so much British colonies in the world?
Eran ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (04.14.10)
why is a major part of Canada still called British colombia? Why did the British occupied Israel? The English were always and still are full of themselves and worst of it, they are ignorant. who are you to preach to others? You conqured many lands by butchering their inhabitant people. West wall isn't part of Israel? Are you kidding me? King Solomon himself built the wall but oops, British (lack of) intelligence claim Solomon was an Arab infedile. Therefore the wall belongs to his people. Go on a crussade or something.
19. Too much fish and chips has gone too
Eric.... ,   Israel...   (04.14.10)
there heads.The English can never get it wright.There way of life revolves around,beer soccer,fish and chips thats it.In the mean time,the Muslims are takeing over England ,its a pity.I think that the British politicians are petrified of the Muslims and thats also a pity.
20. According to British "standards", the Knesset building is
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.14.10)
also located outside of Israel's borders. How else can one explain the fact that Britain has never accepted the western part of Jerusalem, where its parliament is located, as part of sovereign Israel...??!!
21. To the idiots talking about the Falklands
Allan ,   London, England   (04.14.10)
Stop trying to compare, as the people of the Falklands want to be part of the UK and UK citizens. Do all the people of Jerusalem want to be part of Israel? Stop with the childish name calling and have a reasoned debate.
22. losers !
HM ,   Istanbul Turkey   (04.14.10)
One has to be a real loser to make a such statement. Whether you accept it or not Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel. It may be hard for the antisemites to digest but it is a fact ! I have a final word to this phony British agency. You may wish to prove it otherwise on paper but the only thing it will prove is that how a big losers you are.
23. Incredible
Adam ,   Uk   (04.14.10)
This discraceful adjudication was after receiving one complaint. Even the usual hoardes of Israel bashers didn't take offence to this ad. The ASA is self regulating so there is no oversight. This is clearly a political decision taken by someone within the agency. You can contact the ASA if you disagree - http://www.asa.org.uk/Contact-us.aspx
24. Concerned Citizen who?
Norman Gellman ,   Rehovot   (04.14.10)
Who is this “concerned citizen”? I bet he is an Arab. In any case the British inherent hatred of Jews is showing its ugly face again. Having just gone through Holocaust Memorial Day we are reminded of the Duke of Windsor’s (former King George) support of Hitler. In earlier times there was the massacre of the Jews in York, the blaming of Jews for the black plague for 2 examples. The British have never forgiven us for driving them out of Palestine. They do not know to credit the help of the Jewish Brigade in defeating Rommel. So this action is not so surprising give who has taken it.
25. nothing from the UK surprises me any more
Marina Oliver ,   Tel Aviv   (04.14.10)
We have to hit back every time these people open their stupid mouths. My hubby is British and not a day passes when he doesn´t feel ashamed of the country he once called his home...
26. UK authority sais.....
tiki ,   belgium   (04.14.10)
Who Cares? Let them TALK whatever they want to apaise their new Arab landlords, Israel DOES what needs to be done because they are right and they know it. Historical 'FACTS are what they are, you 'cannot change them (you may try, but in de end, the truth will always triumph). Those Brits and others who KNOW what's right or wrong, who know their Bible and history will come anyway, the rest will not. It's like playing the stockmarket where "The trend is your friend". At this moment the trend is ANTI Israel (jew). The more you fight it, the more they enjoy it and get this feeling of a 'winning streak........but markets have this nasty tendancy to change when you don't expect it,....,so, DON't REACT on 'every provocation from 'every organisation or person and the 'fun is out of the game and becomes boring = change of trend!
27. Sure, as soon as Scotland, Wales, N Ireland, and Channel Isl
steve ,   haifa   (04.14.10)
Sure, as soon as Scotland, Wales, N Ireland, and Channel Islands removed from all British advertisments!
28. UK liable for deaths of 400K Hungarian Jews
Eitan ,   Chicago   (04.14.10)
Eichmann's "Jews for Trucks" deal (10,000 trucks in exchange for 1 million Jewish lives) was rejected within moments by the British. No Jew or Israeli should ever render any aid to the UK again. Now Hillary Clinton and the limeys' misguided "friends" in Washington are trying to reopen the matter of the Falklands' status, so Downing Street should learn to hold its tongue. With all these has-been world powers trying to cement the Arab occupation of Israel in place, it's important for 'propaganda insurance' that we open their old wounds. The US ethnically cleansed the Seminole and 4 other "civilized tribes" from their lands, annexed Northern Mexico with arms, and used the Philippines for target practice. The UK largely created the Tamil problem on Sri Lanka by importing thousands of them to divide and conquer the Kingdom of Kandy, and occupied China when its Qing rulers refused to buy the Brits' opium. Both the US and UK should be brought to court, tried, and forced to pay compensation. After all, this is what they demand of Israel as the price for liberating the country from its conquerors, making the most perverse legal arguments ever heard, all as a pretext to steal Jerusalem for the latest batch of impostors. Bringing the UK to trial for its moral turpitude - electing to murder 400,000 Hungarian Jews - is all part of the business of realpolitik.
29. To all you anti British talk backers
True Brit ,   UK   (04.14.10)
How amusing that you think the average British person gives two hoots about some thirld world Bannana republic in the middle east run by a bunch of corrupt right wing politicians and religious fanatics. who even had a serial sex offender as a president. No doubt when Iran starts dropping bombs on Israel you will be crying for British politcal and military support you whinging whiners.
30. To #20 that is becoz we keep changing things
ghostq   (04.14.10)
like or boarders, first we claimed west jerusalem as our capital but now a days we claim all of jerusalem as our capital citys, we also keep changing the how much of the west bank we have aswell he-he-he so my thoight is that the brits are confused as how can they recongize a country that keeps shifting its boarders and were it capital citys is?
