“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
Anti-Zionism = Anti-Israel = Jew Hatred = Antisemitism

BDS Movement
The "Boycott, Divestment and Sanction" movement demonizes the State of Israel and applies double standards. While it claims to be a voice for human rights, Israel is the only country it targets.
This is ANTISEMITISM. This movement ONLY targets the 1 and ONLY Jewish State while ignoring all the injustices that occur throughout the world by other governments.
This movement targets PEOPLE not governments. It targets academics, athletes, performers, small businesses and citizens of a sovereign nation. This is not justice! It is pure hate and discrimination.
When an Olympic athlete refuses to shake the hand of another athlete, only because he was born in Israel, it is discrimination and antisemitism. It is a result of the BDS movement.

When a musician gets targeted and harassed because he/she has planned a concert in Tel Aviv, this is simply hate and antisemitism. While China or Russia are guilty of crimes against humanity, musicians are welcome to perform in those countries. So why Israel?
The only reason is because it is the only Jewish state and the BDS movement has tried to legitimize antisemitism. Israel is a country like any other. It is a home to 9 million people and it must not be targeted and vilified. It can be criticized in the same way as any country can be. The government can be questioned, criticized and disagreed with but once you apply a movement to target that whole country along with all the people in it...you are antisemitic. Its plain and simple.
