Anti-Zionism at Davos Conference

Little Green Footballs reports that An official booklet handed out to attendees of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, contains an outrageously malicious anti-Israel article by Mazin Qumsiyeh, a lecturer at Duke and Yale Universities: Boycott Israel.

Anti-Zionism at Davos Conference.

The booklet, titled “Global Agenda,” bears the logo of the World Economic Forum and includes an introduction written by the conference organizers. It appears to be an official publication of the World Economic Forum and is included in every file handed out to conference participants. It is also distributed at the Zurich Airport and at Swiss hotels.

The booklet includes an unusually harsh article written by Mazin Qumsiyeh, a lecturer at a number of American universities, titled “Boycott Israel.”

The article includes an unequivocal call to establish a global movement against Zionism and a global movement against the “Israeli apartheid”, as well as anti-Israeli, anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic remarks and threats, the likes of which are usually published in marginal magazines in the West or by radical Islamists.

The writer claims that Zionism’s goal is to wipe out the Palestinian people, that it is one of the worst colonialist and racist movements ever, and that the Zionists of today are pulling the strings and setting the policy of the U.S. government.

The same booklet contains dozens of articles by state leaders, economists, philosophers and CEO’s with an international reputation, including articles by Russia’s president, Pakistan’s president and dozens of Jewish public figures, who were apparently unaware of the fact that they appear on Qumsiyeh’s list.
