Students in Britain: ‘Israel Apartheid Week’ Losing Momentum

Jewish students in the UK say anti-Israel activities losing steam, as pro-Israel activists launch a pro-active educational campaign to counter the half-truths and fallacies.

By Ari Soffer

 

It’s that time of year again. As Israel Apartheid Week (IAW) hits campuses across the globe, Jewish students are once more bracing for a week of demonization and assaults on the legitimacy of the Jewish state.

I Oppose

 

Since launching in Canada ten years ago, the phenomenon has taken hold in campuses across several different countries, including the US and Britain. Based on the spurious, yet maliciously effective, accusation that Israel is in some way akin to apartheid South Africa, anti-Zionist groups have found the perfect way to monopolize the discourse and shut out any debate on the Arab-Israeli conflict.
