Challenging the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement
focuses on the efforts to oppose antisemitism, the academic
boycott, and the BDS movement. The State of Israel has faced many
threats, most of them military, since it was established in 1948,
but the threat posed by the NGO forum at the United Nations World
Conference against Racism in Durban, South Africa, in August 2001
was different. The forum unleashed the "new" antisemitism which
targeted the State of Israel, as well as a non-violent, civil
society-based campaign based on the South African anti-apartheid
campaign of the 1980s - which was to form the basis of the
international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement
directed at the State of Israel. Featuring case studies from the
United States, Great Britain, Israel, and South Africa, each
chapter of this wide-ranging volume discusses examples of
opposition to the divisive BDS campaign and the proposed academic
boycott of Israel over the last two decades, including the fight
for formal recognition of the "new" antisemitism by governments and
international bodies and the use of a variety of legal measures.
The rise of antisemitism within academia and wider society is also
examined. This book will be vital reading for students, scholars,
and activists with an interest in social movements, Israel, and
Middle East politics and history.
