Well, I decided to check this one out and it's true. The Israeli govt was told (by the British Advertising Standards Authority - (ASA)) they can't show the Western Wall because it's in disputed territory, and the ad implies it's in Israel. Can you imagine?! What a chutzpa!

Thank you Srif for sending this to me! 

Maybe England unfortunately is taking their cue from the Israel gov't that has not listed Har Habayit as a Jewish Heritage Site.   A petition was started to change this (see excerpt from INN below). This petition was closed and the website is no longer for public access.  From personal sources I have learned that the reason that this petition was closed is because of pressure by Israel Police that this petition (to declare Har Habayit as a Jewish Heritage Site)  would provoke the Arabs and get them upset.

 Petition to Netanyahu
The Organization for the Renewal of the Temple has initiated a petition/letter to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, urging him to add the Temple Mount to his new list of sites preserved as National Heritage sites. The letter states that though "the Temple Mount is the holiest site in the world for the Jewish people, yet the Muslim authorities, aided by Israel Police, systematically deny the right of religious expression on the Mount to all non-Moslems. On numerous occasions the High Court of Justice has upheld the Jewish people's right to pray at the site, yet the police continue to prevent this. Furthermore, Jewish visitors are harassed and degraded… Please, end this travesty and allow Jewish freedom of expression at the Temple Mount. I urge you include the Temple Mount in your "Heritage Plan" of sites significant to the Jewish people."

-------Original Message------- Subject: FW: Mida Keneged Mida      Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2010 15:54:45 +0300 Friday, 16 April 2010 The Long Arm of Hashem's Justice Some people think they're smart, like the British folks who run the British Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). The day before yesterday, the senseless stuffed-shirts declared that the Western Wall and the site of our Holy Temple in Jerusalem are not part of Israel, banning Israeli Tourist adverts that included photos of these holy sites. The bumbling Brits didn't realize that when you mess around with Jerusalem and the Wall, you mess around with Hashem. "Aha, Great Britain - are you so brazen to discourage tourism to My Holy City?" Hashem asks. "You question My children's right to their Father's palace? You shall not have a single tourist entering or leaving your silly Island!" So what did Hashem do? Hashem let a remote volcano in Iceland erupt, from the Icelandic mountain Eyjaffjalljokull, whose ash cloud grounded all air traffic above Britain yesterday, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. You see, the microscopic particles which make up volcanic ash pose a threat to aircraft because they can affect visibility and get sucked into aircraft engines, causing total breakdown. No one remembers when British airspace was totally closed. Such a natural phenomena as an atmospheral ash cloud is one in a zillion. But, Hashem in implementing His Divine justice is defying statistics more and more as we get closer to Moshiach. Britain's air traffic service said late Thursday it was extending a ban on most air traffic until 1200GMT (8 a.m EDT) Friday, this morning. Meanwhile the financial losses and the chaos is mindboggling. Who else wants to fool around with Hashem and Jerusalem? Step up to the plate...
