Israeli daily Haaretz criticised Israeli "panic [over BDS] that has gripped both coalition and opposition politicians". After BDS activists put up a few posters on the London Underground system"Netanyahu quickly made a panicked phone call to Foreign Ministry director general Dore Gold, who happened at that moment to be in the midst of an Israeli-British strategic dialogue session at the British Foreign Office in Whitehall. British diplomats described how...Gold was pulled out of the conference room to receive instructions from Netanyahu. After a few minutes, he returned to his seat and voiced a protest against the posters
An extraordinary series of articles, reports and presentations by Israel’s influential Reut Institute has identified the global movement for justice, equality and peace as an “existential threat” to Israel and called on the Israeli government to direct substantial resources to “attack” and possibly engage in criminal “sabotage” of this movement in what Reut believes are its various international “hubs” in London, Madrid, Toronto, the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
The Reut Institute’s analyses hold that Israel’s traditional strategic doctrine — which views threats to the state’s existence in primarily military terms, to be met with a military response — is badly out of date. Rather, what Israel faces today is a combined threat from a “Resistance Network” and a “Delegitimization Network.”
