episode 8: BDS isn't anti-Semitic, says Gideon Levy. Listen to our Podcast, while it's still legal
For the past 13 years, Israel has been waging all-our war against the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement: diplomatic reservists have been drafted in, friends around the world have been rallied and there's even a government minister dedicated to tackling the 'strategic' problem.
As part of this war, Israeli leaders brand any non-Israeli who supports BDS as anti-Semitic and Israeli supporters of the movement are called kapos, traitors and worse.
But with BDS moving more into the American mainstream – two incoming members of Congress have expressed support for the movement and even the Anti-Defamation League has, in a leaked internal memo, questioned the wisdom of the anti-BDS campaign – we ask: Is this a war Israel can win?
On this week's episode of Haaretz Weekly, host Simon Spungin talks to Israel's most controversial journalist, Gideon Levy, about boycotts, anti-Semitism and making Israelis' blood boil.
