The Israel Government Tourist Office has decided to remove a series of posters at London Underground stations after a complaint was made to the Advertising Standards Authority about a map featured in the poster which shows the Occupied Territories incorporated in Israel.

As reported in this week’s JC, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign complained to the ASA about the posters, which are part of the IGTO’s Think.Israel campaign.

The ASA is to investigate the complaint, and expects to have an adjudication within the next few weeks.

Both the PSC and Dan Judelson of Jews for Justice for Palestinians (JfJP) also wrote to complain to CBS Outdoor, which is responsible for the poster sites, and to Transport for London (TfL) to complain about the poster.
