UK agency bans ad promoting northern Israel

None

Britain's Advertising Standards Authority has ordered the Israeli Government Tourist Office not to repeat an advertisement for a book promoting northern Israel.

 

In the ad published in November, a map showed a dotted line around the Golan Heights, labeled "Golan." Parts of the West Bank were labeled "Samaria" and "Judea." The ad also claimed that skeletons found in the Galilee proved that human speech developed there. (AP)
