"Boycott Arab goods” smear
Congratulations, BDS campaigners.
Your global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions effort is hurting Israel so much that panic-stricken propaganda bosses are casting about in desperation for something to hit back with, for example, the libellous press release which portrays yours truly and other Palestine freedom campaigners as promoters of a new movement boycotting Arab goods.
This tissue of lies arrived the same day as news that Israel is spending 1.6 million US dollars to train "new media warriors" in the use of social media tools for disseminating the regime's endless stream of disinformation. Of course, it’s nothing new. Israel's Ministry of Dirty Tricks launched a revised training manual 18 months ago to serve as a communications primer for the army of cyber-scribblers it was then recruiting to spread Zionism's poison across the internet.
According to the lie machine, I addressed hundreds of Muslim Britons in front of the Libyan embassy in central London and "excoriated the Arab and Iranian regimes for plundering their countries of their wealth and depriving their people of their basic human rights". And I upbraided them for "their entrenched system of apartheid".
