To: The Management British Airways London, UK  Ads in Ariel I would like to point out the following: 1) Ariel is - according to international law - an illegal settlement, createdon occupied Palestinian territory in contravention if the Fourth Geneva Convention (of which both Israel and your country are signatories) and which forbid an occupying power to settle its citizens in occupied territory. 2) The creation of Ariel and other West Bank settlements and their continued maintenance and extension is about the most hotly debated and controversial political subject in Israel. The majority wants to give up the settlements which take to high a price and endanger the country's chance of ever reaching peace with its Palestinian and Arab neighbors. 3) The settlement of Ariel, where the BA billboards have been placed, is mentioned as the reason for an especially deep penetration of the "Separation Wall" into Palestinian territory - a matter which was taken up both by the US Government and by your country's own Prime Minister Tony Blair. And it has even become more acute since it became part of the agenda of the World Court in the Hague.  Ads in Ariel Sincerely yours Adam Keller Spokesperson, Gush Shalom (Israeli Peace Bloc) Pob 2542, Holon 58125, Israel Phone and Fax 972-3-5565804 |
