“…nowadays legislatures in Europe and North America condemn and occasionally outlaw peaceful boycott of Israel (BDS) as anti-Semitic. In doing so they explicitly link Jews of their countries to Israel and its actions. This constitutes a serious danger, not only for the Jews, but also for basic freedoms underpinning the liberal principles of Western democracies.”
Perhaps this is due to a lack of understanding of what BDS means, what it is and where it comes from – there is some evidence this is the case. Perhaps also there’s a need to understand more about the nature of the state of Israel and of the history and purpose of the Zionist project.
Is it Anti-Semitic to Criticize and Boycott Israel?
