Deconstructing the De-legitimization of Israel: A Sociological Perspective

https://isgap.org/flashpoint/deconstructing-the-de-legitimization-of-israel-a-sociological-perspective/

The new antisemitism is no doubt subtler and more hegemonic than ever before. It is not founded on direct delirious antisemitic attacks, but on intellectual constructions.

Yet a majority of respondents in both surveys reported great concern about antisemitism. The 2013 Pew Survey revealed that older American Jews […]

Hate Week: Why the “Israeli Apartheid” Canard is Antisemitic

https://isgap.org/flashpoint/hate-week-why-the-israeli-apartheid-canard-is-antisemitic/

It’s back. Every year at this time, some extreme anti-Israel activists invoke the worst terms of abuse they can think of to try to stigmatize the Jewish state.
