Danish bus ads on Israeli settlements brought to a halt
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Danish group on Monday vows to expand an advertising campaign urging people to boycott products from Israeli settlements after the ads were dropped from Copenhagen buses.
“It’s a clear attempt to deny us our freedom of speech,” Fathi El-Abed, chairman of the Danish Palestinian Friendship Association, tells AFP after bus operator Movia last week pulled the campaign.
“There is nothing whatsoever about this campaign that is harmful, discriminatory or hateful in any way,” he adds.
The advertisements on 35 buses in the Copenhagen area pictured two women beside the quote: “Our conscience is clean! We neither buy products from the Israeli settlements nor invest in the settlement industry.”
