The Boycotters Real Intent

Cheap propaganda, but quite dangerous.

I was sent info of this UK campaign to boycott goods from the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. They call themselves part of WarOnWant. And here, you can read this:

Over the last 61 years Israel has continuously acted in defiance of UN resolutions, international law and global outrage. Through the continuing occupation, Israel has engaged in excessive and disproportionate force, house demolitions, targeted assassinations, detention of minors, detention without trial, attacks on water supplies, violation of the right to food and attacks on medical personnel and equipment...

Hullo.

61 years?

But, didn't "occupation" begin in 1967?

Oh, they mean that (a) for 61 years - why 61? Israel was created at a UN committee recommendation in 1948 and that's 63 years ago or maybe they can't count or simply do not update - Israel has been a defiant state and then (b) along came "occupation"?

But writing "continuing occupation" and not noting a 1967 date is quite misleading.

Which is their intent.
