Exclusive: #Israeli coordinated smears:

3 days before the UK 2019 elex, Israeli mainstream media published a "major bombshell" that Hamas ran a propaganda op to support the Labour leader Corbyn

The 100% made up story was deleted from its original source shortly after the elex..

2\ ~A week before the UK 2019 elex, a young Gazan, Walid, got a call from an #Israeli Lt. Colonel who "used to hold a senior position in the IDF"

He asked Walid in Arabic why he was an admin on the "We Support Jeremy Corbyn" FB page with 72K followers & used a threatening tone..

3\ Walid explained that he was invited to simply write about his daily life in Gaza & that he had no relations to the Labour party or Hamas.

Days & Israeli media & propagandists widely circulated the lie that "Hamas officials" were running an "influential" page to support Labour

4\ A British journalist from a top publication called Walid, who proved to him that he had no relations to Hamas or the Labour party & that he'd been unjustly detained by Hamas in the past

The journalist published nothing to expose this as Walid's reputation was being destroyed!

5\ The night before the UK 2019 elex, the source of the smear claimed that his outlet was being attacked by hackers to burry this "bombshell" (likely to draw more attention to the smear).

PS. the author of the other piece in JPost is a Breitbart contributor & UKIP member.

6\ Only 5 days AFTER the 2019 UK elex were over, Israeli media published Walid's refutation of the smear against him.

The Israeli source of the libel quietly deleted the false story & so did many Israeli propagandists. Walid was left with a shattered life of fear for months...

7\ What prompted me to write this is that I continue to see that Israeli Lt. Colonel who fabricated the story being cited as a "top expert" on Palestinian & Arab affairs. He was never called out for this.
