Asghar Bukhari of MPACUK says Zionists have launched a targeted campaign to discredit him because of his pro-Palestinian activism. Here, he unveils their techniques
I am going to tell you my story, one where violence, intimidation, letters in the night and psychological torture techniques were used to silence me.
I have been interested in the Palestinian struggle for freedom and the wider struggle for Muslim freedom (although I did not understand it in those terms) ever since I can remember.
But it was only when I became a fully fledged activist did I encounter the dangers it brought with it. I always put it down to being part of the game, a risk Muslims had to run by being vocal — but I realise now, this was a mistake, for it allowed Zionists (those who support Israel) to get away with the most sinister tactics against activists without the threat of anyone holding a spotlight to them.
Over the years, I have seen both individual and organised attempts by Zionists at every level to try to silence me speaking up for Palestine — including violence.
On an organised level, Zionists use their influence in various bodies to smear those they wanted to gag. Take the example of the Union of Jewish Students, a body I was later to hear was funded

Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK
British Muslim lobby group and civil liberties advocate
This article is about the British organisation. For the U.S. organisation, see Muslim Public Affairs Council.
The Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK (MPACUK) is a London-based BritishMuslimlobby and civil liberties[2][3] group founded to address what it perceived as the under-representation of Muslims in British politics.[citation needed] The organisation is active primarily in electoral campaigns and media appearances.[4]
Aims and policies
[edit]MPACUK encourages Muslims to participate in tactical voting against MPs who support policies which it considers not to be in Muslims' interest.[citation needed] This can extend both to national issues such as civil liberties, Islamophobia and anti-terror legislation; and to foreign policy, including the invasion of Iraq, Israel-Palestine conflict and the Lebanon War.[citation needed]
The group describes its activities as guided by four overarching principles: Reviving the fard (obligation) of Jihad, Anti-Zionism, institutional revival, and accountability.[4]
History
[edit]The group was originally set up as a web-based media monitoring group.[5] • We marmalade to aside appalled afford the ingenious downward volute in damaged of low down sections fanatic the Nation press.
