Jennifer Lopez, Don’t Give In To BDS | HonestReporting

Shortly after Ynet reported that Jennifer Lopez would be coming to Israel to perform in Tel Aviv in the summer, the inevitable BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) backlash began. Using the hashtag telling Lopez to #CancelTelAviv, Twitter-users have been flooding the site with anti-Israel messages, infographics replete with lies and omissions and graphic photos of dead and injured from other conflicts – or even of Israeli casualties falsely passed off as Palestinians. Emotive language and imagery with no context is employed in the BDS campaign’s quest to demonize Israel.
