This is a huge precedent based on nothing more than wrong propaganda taken from a shady website.
This is disgusting and I don't see why noone is talking about it here or from the FPM. |
According to the magazine NouvelObs.com it all started with this pix
that lebanese media - I'm presuming aka almanar- attributed to Gad almaleh in Tsahal's fatigues.
Naturally this is not Gad Almaleh. AL Manar reporters are apparently that stupid and didn't bother to read the information on the website and to note that it is a pix of some Tsahal soldier WHILE the comments are Gad's. This was apparently part of a campaign in support for Tsahal launched by an NGO (the website owners) and in which a bunch of french artists participated...
So to sum it up
Was Gad an IDF soldier? No
Did he participate in an event in support of Israel & IDF? yes like most french artists
Do the ones protesting against Gad have the right to? Yes in the name of freedom of speech
Does it do them any favor of calling for a boycott? No because they end up as the people who want to send us to the dark ages (IMO we never surpassed the dark ages in lebanon yet but whatever)
I do understand the frustration of the lebanese specially those that directly suffered from Israeli's murderous acts. BUT calling for boycott is plain stupid.
Instead they should have welcomed Gad to lebanon and invited him to visit the populations, the ruins & destructions caused by the IDF, to see the consequences of Tsahal's acts...
It reminds me of the 14M dudes when they were offended by Fairuz singing in Syria calling for boycott etc...
Apparemment la stupidity libanaise depasse les clivages politiques...
