Good to have some actual engagement on the issues. I will reply to each in turn below.
"DigiTell network [was] established by [the] Ministry of Strategic Affairs in... 2018. There are ... 100 members... 20 countries... a reach ~ 15 million people in [over] 5 languages. [It] works 24/7 to defend Israel."
Announcing the award for creating a global troll network.
Watch the award ceremony here with then minister Gilad Erdan.
In the middle you can see Hidde von Koningsveld, from Honest Reporting, the Dutch Zionist who converted to Judaism and now lives on an illegal settlement in Palestine.
If you look closely you can see Simon Cobbs of Sussex Friends of Israel peeping out at the back and former arms lobbyist Luke Lakehurst, just behind minister Erdan.
Of course they are not the only British members of the regime directed network.
@pdeclassified has not really covered NGO Monitor (yet).
We did research with @Spinwatch in 2015.
Here is a diagram from our report on Deconstructing Israel’s campaign against the Palestinian Return Centre, showing the position of NGO Monitor in the anti-Muslim network.
Islamophobia runs deep on the left, including on the Jewish left. Here’s Julia Bard haranguing Jewish Voice for Labour about my factual comments.
So, who is Julia Bard?
Julia Bard is a long-standing and leading member of the Jewish Socialists’ Group (JSG), as is her partner David Rosenberg.
At best, the JSG has an ambiguous position on Zionism. It says it wants the left to ‘relate more positively to Jewish issues’ including analysis of the ‘Israel/Palestine conflict’. But Palestine isn’t a ‘Jewish issue’, and such a view obviously excludes Palestinians.
We should not be surprised by Mazzig's mendacity. He is part of the Digitell network created by the Israel Min of Strategic Affairs to fight BDS. This birthed a “movement” against “antisemitism” and an associated celebrity troll farm, the Tel Aviv Institute. Mazzig is a member.
