Jewish students on college campuses around the world call it “Hate Week”—for good reason. They feel the sting of potent antisemitic imagery on public display, aggressively deployed […]

The Roots of Anti-Israel Attitudes
https://isgap.org/flashpoint/the-roots-of-anti-israel-attitudes/
Israel is demonized and singled out by the media and international bodies.
