Advertising Israeli Birthright

I was upset to see Mumsnet advertising Isreal’s birthright tours.

Birthright is a Zionist practice that directly contributes to the illegal expansion of Israeli settlements in the Palestinian West Bank.

Why is MN ok with advertising something that could not only be seen as alienating to a minority ethnic group but that also supports international law being broken?

Hi OP,

Thanks for flagging. This isn't our advertisement. It's a google ad choices advert, which means it's targeted at individuals. Please can you get the URL to where the advert takes you? We can then locate it and take a look.

Hi all, thanks for your patience today. We sometimes block ads if we think they’re causing or likely to cause controversy on the boards and this was our initial thinking here. It's fair to say that the Birthright program has attracted some criticism and we'd fully expect that discussion to be played out on Mumsnet but in retrospect the ad doesn't break any guidelines, so we'll remove the block. Thanks for all the input and apologies for any angst caused.
