Dan Diker, Fellow at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, issued a paper, titled, The “Apartheid” Poll and the Disinformation Discourse, which delves deeper into who, how, and why these lies against Israel have gained so much traction in America, to the point of becoming mainstreamed. In the last 2 weeks, J Street and their allies released a purposely misleading poll suggesting that 25% of American Jews believe that Israel is an “apartheid state.” During this same period, groups like J Street and other anti-Israel Jewish leftists have come to the defense of Ben & Jerry’s BDS attacks against Israel.   Along with these groups, antisemitic propogandists like Linda Sarsour, Ilhan Omar, and the Squad engage in carefully orchestrated messaging that blood-libels Israel which leads into outright antisemitism and Jew-Hatred. During the interview, Dan discussed the tactics used by Students for Justice in Palestine, an antisemitic group, whose campus activism has set in motion the mainstreaming of academia-inspired antisemitism, targeting Jewish students and professors alike.   There’s an old adage, “The truth will set you free.” That is, unless the lies told about you are so big, so organized, and so well-orchestrated, that the truth doesn’t even matter anymore. The rise of the blood-libel movement against Israel has been growing for decades, but now, has reached an all-time level of lies meant to delegitimize, destabilize, and eventually dismantle the State of Israel.  From the media, to academia, to the Halls of Congress, the slandering of Israel with the most grotesque lies have led to a record level of physical attacks and harassment of Jews on the streets of New York, other large cities with significant Jewish populations, and college campuses throughout North America.  In the last 2 weeks, J Street and their allies released a purposely misleading poll suggesting that 25% of American Jews believe that Israel is an “apartheid state.” During this same period, groups like J Street and other anti-Israel Jewish leftists have come to the defense of Ben & Jerry’s BDS attacks against Israel.  This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
