MK Yair Lapid, who heads the Yesh Atid opposition party, visited Terminal 3 at Ben-Gurion International Airport on Tuesday morning 3 Teves. Lapid distributed pamphlets to Israelis traveling, explaining to them everyone must battle the BDS (Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions) Movement abroad. The pamphlet contains suggestions to do just that, providing responses to the allegations leveled against Israel that are used by BDS.

Lapid explained “Israel is under constant attack” and that the travelers can act as ambassadors to spread a different message, one that defies the lies of BDS. Lapid spoke of a “Struggle with determination and wisdom” telling passengers BDS spreads lies about Israel that include false witness testimony and photos.

Lapid has been using social media and the international press to get his message out in the hope of delegitimizing the BDS anti-Israel Movement.
