E. Jerusalem Guides Probed For PLO Propaganda
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
Transcribed from the clipping
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Security forces are investigating complaints from tourists that some of the guides from East Jerusalem are propagating Palestine Liberation Organization propaganda and turning tourists against Israel. The complaints were received by the Commerce Ministry’s Tourism Dept. and turned over to the security services.
According to reports, it is possible that hundreds, if not thousands, of tourists handled by East Jerusalem tourism contractors and operators were subjected to PLO propaganda by their guides. There is concern that many of the tourists may have left Israel with distorted information about the country.
Following the investigation, a top level decision is expected regarding East Jerusalem tourism operations.
