BDS South Africa Responds to Leaks on Israeli Cyber Terrorism Threats
26 February 2015
The Palestine solidarity and human rights organisation BDS South Africa shares the general shock of most South Africans who feel that both the leaking of top secret government documents and the content of some of the documents leaked is concerning. We unequivocally condemn this leaking of SA intelligence documents.
The most recent leak confirms that the Israeli regime indeed is trying by all available means to counter the growing non-violent Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel movement. BDS South Africa believes that the recent #SpyCables leak with details of Israeli cyber terrorism show the desperation of the Israeli Government and its supporters.
To resort to cyber terrorist tactics in an attempt to manipulate the South African government and by extension, us, its people, should be deplored by all peace and justice loving people. Reports that Israeli Mossad spies were to launch a cyber attack on our financial sector due to the SA Government's support for the BDS is appalling.
BDS South Africa enjoys a working relationship with the Department of State Security, the Government of South Africa and the ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC). We continue to demand for more encompassing boycotts and government sanctions against Israel, however, BDS South Africa acknowledges the role and commitment of the Government of South Africa and the ruling party to the Palestinian people and cause.
