The Jerusalem Post quotes an op-ed by George Galloway in the British Socialist daily ‘The Morning Star’ in which he declared that a flotilla of ships called the “Viva Palestina convoy” will leave from London, Casablanca, and Doha on September 18. It seems that Galloway has drawn heart from the diplomatic environment surrounding Israel’s actions in Gaza. In his article, he mentions both the condemnation of the blockade of Gaza by the EU and UN as well as David Cameron’s statements about Gaza being a prison camp.

In recent months, starting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s categorization of Israel’s delegitimization as one of three key challenges facing the country, political and diplomatic arenas seem to be increasingly emerging as a national security focus among Israeli decision makers.

An article in the Forward suggests that board members within the New Israel Fund (NIF) are discussing bringing in policy guidelines as to which organizations receive funding. This would be an important step in driving a wedge between critics of Israeli policy and delegitimizers of its existence.

The Jerusalem Post ran an article today on anti-Israel and pro-Israel activism in California, one of the areas Reut identifies as a hub of delegitimization. According to the incoming chair of the Jewish Community Relations Council of the East Bay, “there are over 100 anti-Israel organizations chipping away constantly at support for Israel and more than 30 anti-Israel events are held every month.”

On the surface, the ECESG appears to be an ordinary, liberal-progressive solidarity coalition devoted to universal humanitarian principles. But closer examination reveals that Hamas representatives in London played a significant role in the establishment of the organization and continue to play a significant role in its activity.[1]
