In her new book “Artists Under Fire”, Lana Melman demonstrates how the international movement known as BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) pursues its undeclared aim of delegitimizing and, eventually, eliminating the State of Israel.
BDS, having defined Israel as an apartheid state, maintains that the movement is merely a pressure group advocating the methods once used against apartheid South Africa. It thus provides a respectable cover under which frank antisemites and haters of Zionism can pursue their demonization of Israel. Because BDS is selective in what it says to particular audiences, it attracts support worldwide from people who respond to one aspect or another of its message without appreciating its underlying purpose.
