Racist BDS Pallywood: a pic from Holocaust to lie

BDS shares concentration camp photo, claims its a “massacre” of Palestinians. Min’ @AmichaiChikli: The racist BDS breaks a Guinness record, using a pic from German concentration camp to lie about a fictional massacre during Israel’s 1948 war.

After the clashes at Tantura resurfacing with a propaganda film based on Falsehoods promoted by the terrible Haaretz, there was then a pushback, including by historian Benny Morris and by academics on the ‘way’ the fictional film was done.

Tantura libel:

The legend of Tantura: It does not make sense that none of the villagers told about the massacre.
Benny Morris, July 28, ’22.

In my naivete, I thought that in the movie “Jenin, Jenin” (2002), directed by Muhammad Bakri, we reached the peak of historical falsehood, when manipulations and lies, visual and verbal, come together and give the viewer a distorted and false picture of what happened. But Alon Schwartz, in his film “Tantura”, which has just been released, definitely surpasses his teacher and his brother, at least in the field of manipulation, shticks and tricks. Now he also did this in his article, “This is how the ‘Tantura’ affair was silenced” (”Haaretz”, 7/22). Like the film, the article suffers from extreme dishonesty. Basically, this is an act of deception.

In recent years, the fashion that characterizes intellectuals in their own eyes is to inflate and distort history or reinvent it in order to attack the founders of the State of Israel, most of whom were.. Ashkenazim. It is not clear why those groups of people, who sometimes overlap, instead of dealing with the crimes and injustices that occurred and left behind a respectable archival trail, tell a new story based on oral testimonies given decades after the case itself, distort data and use violent language against researchers and interested parties who present documents and facts . Sometimes, those intellectuals tell a different kind of story, as if the education system and the academy are silencing a dramatic and important event in the history of the Jewish people, while completely ignoring the facts.

Veterans of the battle sued Katz for libel. They won. Indeed, in testimony before the district court judge Katz admitted his thesis was a fabrication.
