Israel accusations made without a shred of proof

Once again a leading member of a morally defective and hypocritical Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign casually and without a shred of empirical evidence accuses Israel, the only democratic state in the Middle East, of “ethnic cleansing; violence and murder” (Letters, April 1).

These accusations which the BDS movement so casually throw out are always done in response to any challenge to its manipulative narrative which is based on a hypocritical singling out of Israel and ignores the truly apartheid states of the region like Saudi Arabia which is misogynistic, anti-Gay, and undemocratic.

These hypocrisies are usually based by non-historians like Dr Sheerin on a superficial reading of the pseudo-histories of discredited academics like Ilan Pape and Avi Shlaim.
