It offers groundbreaking research on the old Russian anti-Zionist propaganda and its application by the BDS, as well as the public space of BDS activity and its covert part harbors antisemitic and violent supporters. Western universities have turned into incubators of pro-Palestinian groups, and the academic boycott of Israel has worked to isolate and stigmatize Jewish scholars in America. Western liberals wish to build bridges with the Muslim world, but are unable to overcome differences on democracy, secularism, and womens rights. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 206 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 September 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive book delves into the intricate phenomenon of Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS), examining its profound impact and far-reaching implications for Israel and the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict. It also uncovers the undeniable connection between BDS's anti-Israeli\/anti-Zionist propaganda and antisemitism, shedding light on previously unknown perspectives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe edited volume presents groundbreaking research that challenges prevailing narratives. While Israeli public diplomacy primarily focused on security concerns, Palestinian diplomacy resorted to fabricating historical narratives. The book analyzes the old Russian anti-Zionist propaganda and its adaptation by BDS activists, shedding light on their tactics and strategies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe public face of BDS activity portrays a compassionate and humanistic image, but the covert aspects reveal the presence of antisemitic and violent supporters, including terror groups and Iran. Western universities have become breeding grounds for pro-Palestinian groups that perpetuate the false narrative of Israel as the root of all evil. The academic boycott of Israel has worked to isolate and stigmatize Jewish scholars in America, perpetuating a perceived Jewish occupation of the academic sphere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWestern liberals, driven by their desire to forge connections with the Muslim world, struggle to bridge differences in democratic principles, secularism, women's rights, and other contentious issues. However, they find common ground in their animosity towards Israel. This sentiment is echoed by various international organizations such as the United Nations (UN), the International Criminal Court (ICC), Bedouin advocacy groups, and Human Rights Watch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Israel Affairs, further contributing to the ongoing discourse on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and BDS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032140926\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44646786662650,"sku":"9781032140926","price":42.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1697219736468_book.jpg?v=1697574616","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/soft-threats-to-national-security-antisemitism-bds-and-the-delegitimization-of-israel-9781032140926","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
