WHY ISRAEL 59
simply because they are Jewish, even if they have nothing to do with Israel. This is anti-Semitism, pure and simple.
We see it in college campuses, but also in churches. Some major mainline denominations such as the PCUSA and the Methodists have included BDS in their official policy. On col- lege campuses, swastikas show up on dorm room doors and the offices of Jewish professors. This happened at UC Davis and at Columbia University, for example.
BDS is especially popular in Europe, where the European Union has refused to condemn BDS as discrimination. Large anti-Israel rallies often combine BDS messages with the support and rhetoric of neo-Nazi type groups.

countries abstained.17
