In Boston, BDS Activists Target Local Jewish Institutions

They don’t want their anti-Semitism to be mistaken for mere criticism of Israel.

A Boston-area group advocating for boycotting, divesting from, and sanctioning Israel (BDS) has recently produced an elaborate interactive online map purporting to demonstrate the nexus between “local support for the colonization of Palestine” and “policing, evictions, and privatization locally” as well as “U.S. imperialist projects worldwide.” Among the “Zionist” institutions whose “networks” the map exposes are the Anti-Defamation League, Hillel Houses at Boston University and Brandeis, an independent Jewish high school, an organization that runs summer camps for children and young people with disabilities, and the left-wing New Israel Fund.
