Omar Barghouti Is Actually A Zionist Agent

The US Congress is considering a sweeping anti-BDS law. I must give credit where credit is due: Omar, we couldn’t have done this without you.

Now is as good a time to let it be known as any: BDS movement leader Omar Barghouti is one of our boys.

Usually the phrase “one of our boys” refers specifically to an actual member of the tribe, but in this case I refer to Mr. Barghouti not as a Jew, but as acting on behalf of them and their state. There, I said it: Omar Barghouti is actually a Zionist agent.

The reason I’m sharing that tidbit now is that it was only a matter of time before his laughable hypocrisy discredited him and his movement anyway. Mr. Barghouti is about to complete his PhD at Tel Aviv University, cementing his status as a hypocrite with no moral standing – a perfect fit for the Boycott, Divest, Sanctions activists he purports to lead, but of limited future utility in sandbagging that movement. Here you have a man who promotes severing economic, cultural, political, and professional ties with Israeli individuals and institutions, yet continues to avail himself of the exceptional scholarship, resources, and education that the Tel Aviv University offers. Once his career as a student at the a Zionist institution of higher learning ends, Mr. Barghouti’s duplicity will have a much more limited impact on BDS. It is time to end the charade.

As I recall him telling me in  briefing last year, under his aegis large swaths of the BDS movement have followed his lead of railing against endorsement of Israeli individuals or products while relying extensively on Israeli technological innovation to conduct their lives. The number of BDS activists using mobile devices with patented Israeli technology has skyrocketed under his watch, a testimony to his influence. Where moral and intellectual consistency might demand an actual avoidance of Israeli products and services, the Barghouti Principle dictates that one must do so only if it would not be terribly inconvenient. I have to confess that one was partly my own idea.

But his accomplishments have not been restricted to the realm of hypocritical activism. Mr. Barghouti’s efforts in steering the BDS movement to ever-more obnoxious, openly antisemitic, and hateful pastures have borne fruit: Illinois and South Carolina have just legislated divestment from any entity practicing BDS against Israel, several other states appear to following suit, and the US Congress is considering a nationwide anti-BDS law. I must give credit where credit is due: Omar, we couldn’t have done this without you.

Agent Barghouti’s code name was “Sabra,” a double entendre that invokes both the term for a native Israeli and uses the brand name of a hummus product sold in the US – a product favored by BDS activists in their efforts to lobby commercial establishments not to stock it. So successful has Agent Sabra been that Israeli exports have increased significantly, and no one has been the wiser.

Now, however, the depth of hypocrisy he was hired to personify will be reduced, since he will no longer actively attend a Zionist university. We can only hope that those who follow Agent Barghouti will continue to think they are producing exactly the opposite impact of what they are actually accomplishing.
