Indeed, that does not pass the smell test.A group called BDS Norway have uploaded to YouTube this interview with BDS movement founder Omar Barghouti, filmed not too long before he was arrested for being a tax cheat.
The video is an exercise in “counting-the-lies” – the fact he can say what he does with a straight face makes more understandable how he could also cheat on his taxes.
Note in particular:
- His claim his “refugee background” was a reason he got involved in BDS. As a reminder, he was born in Qatar, before moving to Egypt, the US and only to Israel after marrying an Israeli-Arab woman.
- His father being one of the founders of terror group PLO in 1964, 3 years before the so-called occupation
- Him speaking about a “long heritage of non-violent palestinian popular resistance.”
- “We never lie about our goals.” You just did.
Keep in mind how much Barghouti has profited financially from BDS.
I suspect the next questioning he is part of is not so relaxed.

So, you expect us to believe Israeli charges of tax evasion of the leader of the BDS movement? That's rich.
Indeed, the usual suspects are in a panic that one of their heroes could face formal tax evasion charges.
Not at all surprising that the scam artist Omar "I'm Pal'istanian" Barghouti is Qatari-born, lives in Israel, was educated in Israel, but tries to pass himself off as Pal'istanian for propaganda and tax evasion purposes: stash money in a Ramallah bank account.
Interestingly, Omar will be afforded the benefit of a justice system that he would not have in any one of his Islamist paradises.
