Boycott ads removed from buses in Copenhagen as 'too offensive'
07.05.2015, Jews and Society A pro-Palestinian Danish group has vowed to spread an advertising campaign urging the boycott of Israeli goods produced in settlements in Judea and Samaria after such ads were taken down from buses in Copenhagen.
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."
But they were dropped by the company Movia within just four days after it "received a significant number of inquiries regarding the Danish Palestinian Friendship Association's campaign against Israeli settlements."
The company said in a statement that the ads campaign was "unnecessarily offensive."
The campaign surfaces just months after a terrorist of Palestinian origin killed two people in a Copenhagen cafe and outside a local synagogue.
"It's a clear attempt to deny us our freedom of speech," Fathi El-Abed, chairman of the Danish Palestinian Friendship Association, claimed.
