What Is Rael Propaganda Diaries (Day 1, Act 1):

"BDSsouthafrica on Aug 11, 2011

An Israeli mission is being sent to five countries to do pro-Israeli propaganda work at campuses. The mission has been briefed and trained by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Israeli Ministry of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. Furthermore, they have received funding from the Ben-Gurion University and Weizmann Institute of Science student unions.

These youtube diaries document the mission's attempted propaganda visit to South African campuses.

In this installment - Day 1: OR Tambo International Airport - students who planned a creative protest at the arrivals terminal of the airport speak about the measures that the Hasbara group had to take to 'sneak into the country like spies'.

Palestinian students have written to South African peers asking students to challenge and boycott the upcoming Israeli trip to South Africa which is meant to begin on the 11th of August 2011. In response, the SA Union of Students; South Africa's oldest and largest student group, SA Students Congress; and the Young Communist League of South Africa have issued a joint statement that slams the 'Israeli Apartheid Agents' mission to South African campuses and they encourage all local structures to investigate and implement boycott of Israel campaigns was issued.

All South African students are being called on to boycott the Israeli tour; challenge and counter the tour; and investigate and advance Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions of Israel on their campuses. More information: www.bdssouthafrica.com

The mission's main focus is South Africa in general and the University of Johannesburg (UJ) specifically - this is because of South Africa's critical position on Israel and the growing support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) of Israel that it is coming from South Africa. For example, the UJ ended its institutional relationship with Israel on the 1st of April and a legal tribunal will be held in Cape Town later this year to rule whether Israel is guilty of Apartheid, the tribunal includes Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Ms. Winnie Mandela, Professor John Dugard etc.

Palestinian students have written to South African peers asking students to challenge and boycott the upcoming Israeli trip to South Africa scheduled to begin on the 11th of August 2011.
