Israeli Deputy ambassador advises :counter opponents of Israel with sex smears and mossad accusations

The Irish Times reported last week that Israel's Deputy Ambassador to Ireland, Nurit Tinari-Modai, is advocating a campaign of intimidation, smears and falsification against Israeli human rights activists who campaign in solidarity with Palestinians . Nurit Tinari-Modai suggests that a good way of undermining opponents of Zionism is to insinuate that "sexual identity problems" motivates those who protest the treatment oif Palestinians .
"Israel's Channel 10 News reported that Nurit Tinari Modai, who is cultural officer at the embassy and is married to ambassador Boaz Modai, advised that the foreign ministry should adopt a new strategy in which it would "try to hit [the activists'] soft underbellies ."


Nurit Tinari-Modai, wrote in an email leaked to Channel 10 News that sex smears, might "cause embarrassment for activists' friends in Israel and their family" and "sow suspicion among non-Israeli activists" . The Times quoted Tinari-Modai saying that it would be a good idea to convince people that anti-zionists " may actually be working on behalf of Mossad" (the Israeli intelligence agency)."
