Anti-Zionism, Anti-Semitism: The Faculty Campaign Against the Jewish State

In recent years, there has been a growing movement on college campuses to boycott, divest from, and sanction (BDS) the State of Israel. This movement is often justified on the grounds that Israel is an apartheid state that oppresses Palestinians. However, as Alan Dershowitz argues in his new book, Anti-Zionism, Anti-Semitism: The Faculty Campaign Against the Jewish State, the BDS movement is actually a thinly veiled form of anti-Semitism.

Dershowitz, a renowned legal scholar and author, provides a detailed history of the BDS movement, tracing its origins to the anti-Semitic boycott of Jewish businesses in Nazi Germany. He shows how the BDS movement has been embraced by white supremacists and other anti-Semitic groups, and how it has been used to justify violence against Jews.

Dershowitz also argues that the BDS movement is based on a false understanding of Zionism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He shows how Zionism is a legitimate national liberation movement, and how Israel is a democratic state that respects the rights of all its citizens, including Palestinians.

Dershowitz's book is a powerful and timely indictment of the BDS movement. He provides a clear and concise explanation of the history, goals, and tactics of the movement, and he shows how it is a threat to both Jews and the cause of peace.

Anti-Zionism, Anti-Semitism is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the BDS movement and its implications for the future of Jewish-Arab relations.

The BDS movement is a global campaign to boycott, divest from, and sanction the State of Israel. The movement was founded in 2005 by a coalition of Palestinian non-governmental organizations.

The BDS movement has been endorsed by a number of prominent international organizations, including the United Nations Human Rights Council, the European Parliament, and the African Union. However, the movement has also been criticized by some, who argue that it is anti-Semitic and that it undermines the cause of peace.

The History of the BDS Movement

The BDS movement has its roots in the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. In the 1980s, a number of international organizations called for a boycott of South Africa in Free Download to pressure the government to end apartheid. The BDS movement was founded in 2005 as a similar response to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.

The BDS movement has grown rapidly in recent years. In 2014, the movement launched a campaign to get universities to divest from companies that do business with Israel. The campaign has been successful, and a number of universities have now divested from companies such as Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard, and Veolia.

The Goals of the BDS Movement
