Israeli fights Spanish site's Israel boycott

Bertha Linker gets Spanish learning website to accept her, remove anti-Israel material

Bertha Linker, 32, recently decided to register with the escritores.org website in order to improve her level of writing in Spanish through online studies.

 

But she was soon surprised to learn that her request had been rejected as the website is boycotting Israel over its policy in the Palestinian territories.

 

Linker reported the response to the Israeli Embassy in Spain, which discovered that the website also features anti-Israel materials. The embassy then approached lawyers to examine the matter's legal aspect. 

 

This led to various solicitations via social networks and threats to sue the website. Escritores.org eventually succumbed to the pressure and decided to accept Linker as a member and to remove the anti-Israel material.

 

"I fought it and I'm glad they finally gave in," Linker said.
