Reviews
A must-read for anyone who wants to understand the most recent and powerful mutation of antisemitism, the demonization of the Jewish state. The BDS campaign has been very successful in defaming Israel and the Jewish people by proxy by using human rights language in a twisted way. This book explains how the BDS campaign became so influential among academic and cultural elites and what can be done about it. Dr Gunther Jikeli, Erna B. Rosenfeld Associate Professor, Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism, Indiana University, USA These essays make an impactful contribution to the understanding of the dangers and mechanics of the BDS movement globally. Providing an astute analysis of how the academy is driven by these false narratives and scholar activists that use propaganda rather than actual scholarship. Understanding the insidious objectives of the movement is key to combating it. Dr Asaf Romirowsky, Executive Director, Scholars for Peace in the Middle East This edited volume focuses on the campaign to impose the BDS campaign on the State of Israel and the response by Israel and its supporters to that campaign. It is wide-ranging, comprehensive and incisive guide to the issue, a must-read for anyone interested in this subject. Professor Jonathan Rynhold, Head of the Department of Political Studies, Bar-Ilan University, Israel This is a very good book which brings together leading scholars in the field of antisemitism research on both sides of the Atlantic, and beyond, to provide a comprehensive and unique perspective on the many aspects of BDS. Lesley Klaff, Senior Lecturer in Law, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
