By Asa Winstanley: Sarah Leah Whitson, the head of Human Rights Watch’s Middle East division, was fiercely attacked by anti-Palestinian groups and pundits this weekend.
She had shared a posting of mine on the manufactured “Labour anti-Semitism crisis” story.
My tweet included an article from last year in which I reported a clear example of Israeli interference in British politics.
The “Act.IL” organization, which is coordinated and backed by Israel’s so-called Ministry of Strategic Affairs, had used a troll army to spread false information about Jeremy Corbyn – the leader of the UK’s official opposition party.
Whitson commented, “Why is this #Israel interference in domestic UK politics acceptable? Is it only a problem when Russia does this?”
