An anti-Israel group in Denmark has launched an advertising campaign on Copenhagen’s bus system in support of the movement for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel.
The advertisements were posted on privately-owned buses used by the city for public transportation. The organization behind the boycott campaign is called, “NejTakTilBSP,” and it claims that its goal is to “raise awareness among Danish consumers about products from illegal settlements.”
On some of the buses, “maps of Israel” were displayed which not only exclude the West Bank, but also large parts of the State of Israel, reducing it back to its 1948 borders. Under these pictures was written, in Danish, “Our conscience is clean, we do not buy products from settlements in Israel and we also do not invest in their industries.”
In response, Sarah Haetzni-Cohen, the director of pro-Israel website My Israel, said that, “You think this is only about ’67? Look at the maps. It’s long been about ’48,” adding that “the struggle is for our very existence here. Using boycotts against settlements is just an excuse,” according to NRG news. More.
