Bollocks saga ends with a whimper – and other news.

You will know from previous posts that the Cape Times/Weaver response to the damning TIMER Report was “Bollocks!” No counter evidence, no counter argument – just pub talk. Weaver was challenged, repeatedly, to support his response, to come up with evidence that proved my Report was indeed “bollocks”.

His response: quiet as mouse – not a peep, not a shred of evidence – not even something plausible if tendentious. Nothing.

Will anything change? I doubt it. Those who don’t have the moral gumption to pay some decent respect to a careful study or to debate the central thrust of the evidence, but rely on bravado and bluster to ignore its findings, are unlikely to find the cojones to rectify anything or to apologise to the Jewish and Zionist community for their complicity in the iniquitous demonisation of the Jewish state.

But you will be pleased to hear that my post on the BDS circus was published by Politicsweb here. It has also been submitted to the Cape Argus. For a more detailed assessment of the aims and motivations of the BDS project, see the report from the Simon Wiesenthal Centre here .

Disgusting and laughably stupid as the  BDS propaganda is, I still think it will come to naught as far as Israel is concerned. I believe it and its fellow travelers in the media and academia will one day be regarded, correctly, as the moral equivalent to the Nazi propagandists and their covert or open allies. There are dangers to Israel but not from the BDS brigade. But that is another story.

Also another story, is just how much harm ideology and prejudice can do before it has run its course.
