By refusing to acknowledge a Palestinian perspective and giving individuals such as Shlomo Shoham such a prominent platform and role in their event, the organizers of the Sustainable Global Leadership Academy have become complicit in Israel’s well-oiled efforts at Greenwashing the country’s abysmal human rights record.
The charges of anti-Semitism in the UK Labour Party reflect a program by Israel supporters to smear those who bear witness to apartheid in Palestine who are slowly changing the country’s global reputation. Today a growing number of Jews support Palestinian rights, while Israel is forging a strange alliance with Islamophobes and nationalists.
