Members of the Jordanian National Campaign to Thwart the Gas Deal with the Zionist Entity are planning to organise a motorcade from the capital to Karak on Friday in recognition of its residents’ decision not to sell “Zionist products”.
Participants in the motorcade will gather outside the Professional Associations Complex in Shmeisani at 9:30am and leave at 10am.
Upon their arrival, they will hold an event outside the complex’s branch in Karak, according to Hisham Bustani, the coordinator of the campaign.
Bustani said stores in the city, 140km south of Amman, do not carry Israeli products.
“Owners of grocery stores and vegetable markets do not sell Zionist products,” he told The Jordan Times over the phone on Thursday.
He said the campaign wanted to highlight this achievement and encourage other cities to follow in Karak’s footsteps.
“The campaign focuses on the gas deal, because if it happens, all Jordanians will have effectively normalised ties with the Zionist enemy because no one can avoid using gas, but people can avoid buying vegetables or any other commodity,” Bustani added.
The Facebook page of the group shows what the action looked like:
But what I found interesting was this other video on that same page.
It shows Israeli soldiers, speaking terrible Hebrew, playing a "spin the bottle/truth or dare" game with a wine bottle filled with presumably human blood, playing off of classic antisemitic themes.
The soldiers use the game to decide when to arbitrarily turn off Jordan's power, which is what the group claims Israel would do if Jordan goes through with its planned deal to buy gas from Israel.
At the end it says "If the gas deal with the Zionist entity goes forward, then the Jordanian government gives the enemy the dangerous weapon of energy: giving him the capability to turn off electricity at the push of a button."
Just more proof that BDS is the same as antisemitism.
