BDS stands for the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement against Israel. It is a well funded and well organized, global propaganda campaign with a focus on negatively impacting Israel via economic, diplomatic, legal, and cultural warfare – its goal is to undermine support for Israel’s right to exist and defend itself, and ultimately to cause Israel to no longer exist as a Jewish and democratic state. BDS claims to advocate for Palestinian rights to self-determination while seeking to deny the Jewish people those same rights. It demonizes and dehumanizes Israelis and their supporters, using rhetoric and imagery that often evoke classic antisemitism.
