Al Khaleej Online reported this week about a social media campaign to boycott tourism to Dubai - because Jews were visiting there.
The site didn't even pretend it was talking about Israelis.
In light of the influx of Jews to the Emirates and their establishment of religious rituals and provocative rituals in front of Arabs and Muslims in the most prominent tourist places in this Gulf country, voices appeared from within the GCC countries calling for a boycott of tourism in Dubai, which was a reception station for Jews during the recent period.
The most provocative scenes for the Gulf and Arab peoples were the circulation of a video clip (Wednesday, December 9), showing Israeli tourists performing a Jewish prayer at the top of Burj Khalifa in the Emirate of Dubai.
This tweet showed a video of a concert of a religious Jewish singer in front of the Burj Khalif skyscraper, with the text "After watching and repeating these shameful scenes, it must become a duty to boycott Dubai tourism. We are not even used to watching these pigs."
This one showed Jews praying in the skyscraper and says, "By God, after the Zionists desecrated it, Dubai will not return to its previous glory, and nothing will come from Zionism but ruin."
The article cites an "expert" about how Arab boycotts of Dubai could hurt the UAE economy.
The thing is, the hashtag started in December 13 and ran out of steam a couple of days later, with another flurry about a week ago.
No one is boycotting Dubai tourism. It is just a hashtag to make some people feel like they are "activists" and to tell others what to do.
There is a lot in common between the far Left in the West who want to boycott the Jewish state and the antisemitic bigots who want to boycott Dubai because Jews are visiting.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
