Alice Walker the US Pultizer Prize winning author of The Colour Purple has refused a request to publish an Israeli edition of her award winning Novel citing the "apartheid and persecution of the Palestinian people"
Walker who along with Bishop Desmond Tutu believes Israeli Apartheid is even worse than that practised by the South Africans is a champion of the non violent BDS (Boycott, Disinvestment Sanctions) which she hopes will have an impact on Israeli civilian society by encouraging a change.
The Israelites are nervous and when they are cornered, being desperate creatures they will wheel out the usual defence mechanism which is always shamefully deployed when they are on a sticky wicket. As a result, Alice Walker get ready for all manner of accusations from anti semitism to Holocaust denial but as LM has increasingly found the Israelite ammunition is running low. The game is increasingly over, the noose is tightening ever so surely and one can feel the Israelites beginning to loosen their collars as the heat from the boycott and disinvestment campaign begins to take hold.
Nobody is buying the hysteria anymore and that's dangerous for a plethora of multi faceted reasons. Having used the anti semitic libel excessively the Israelites have so devalued and cheapened its undoubted importance they find themselves crying fire once too often which will result in no fire engine coming to their rescue when a real fire breaks out.
