What's BDS Really About?

A calming voice on the Brooklyn College debate about boycotting Israel.

Israel is a big boy. And so too, I like to think, are all those impressionable college students who know a load of bull when they hear it. BDS is not about a serious boycott movement. It's about denying the Jews the right to a state of their own. As broken as this record is, read the literature. It's not a two-state movement--it's a one-state movement and that one state is not Jewish.
