The Los Angeles Times is running a paid Israeli government tourism advertisement that promotes travel to Israel using a map that appears to erase Palestine and incorporate the occupied Syrian Golan Heights into Israel. The ad has drawn criticism on social media, with commentators accusing both Israel's tourism ministry and the newspaper of legitimising occupation through cartography.
Why now: The advertisement's depiction of Israel's borders amid the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict has triggered backlash and debate over media complicity.
