The head of French friends of Israel’s Likud Party admitted staging anti-Semitic phone calls to himself. Alex Moise received a two-month suspended sentence and a $1,000 fine from a Paris court Thursday for giving a false statement and for wasting the court’s time. Moise filed a complaint in January claiming he had received anti-Semitic phone calls and threats but later admitted that he himself had made the calls. Describing Moise as a “friend and a serious worker for the community,” Sammy Ghozlan, president of the Bureau For Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, told JTA he is “shocked that a community leader would do something like this in the current climate.” www.jta.org/

Unfortunately, it's also not unprecedented either. I read a news story about someone from Harvard trying a similar stunt.

Yes, actually, and it shows that the Likud uses this as a technique, on an even broader and deadlier scale.
