The conference Pappe is writing about was one that was set-up by pro-Hamas MiddleEastMonitor (MEMO), which is run by Ibrahim Hewitt; a known hater of Jews and Gays whose articles reek of last century's gutter trash about the Protocols of the Jewish Elders of Zion. The 3 Latin American countries which sent diplomats to this farce represent 3 brutal & oppressive leftwing dictatorships.
See the problem yet? You should.
Pappe says we need to see diplomats from Western nations emulating these 3 fascist tyrannies which openly incite Jew hatred in order to slam the Jewish state (with bullshit accusations of genocide, colonialism, & apartheid). It's difficult to take Pappe seriously, don't you think? Pappe takes these tyrants masquerading as humanitarians seriously. What a joke.
Like I wrote to you earlier, the only organizations out there which scream apartheid, genocide, and colonialism are ones supported by or at least very sympathetic to fascist tyrants (I'm sure they all love Jeremy Corbyn's electoral victory BTW). There's a reason Norm Finkelstein calls BDS a cult & why no credible liberal and genuinely progressive, anti-fascist organizations take this lot seriously.
