.................................

The American Studies Association’s recent decision to boycott Israeli universities offers a telling example. An affront to the intellectual integrity of U.S. academia, the ASA’s boycott has nevertheless been treated by liberal pundits as legitimate political expression in response to supposed Israeli abuses. Alas, its defenders include many progressive Jews who excuse efforts to delegitimize Israel and dismiss Jewish self-interest as archaic and chauvinistic.

The tired refrain from the left is that boycotts are justified because Israel abuses human rights and enforces apartheid – fictions that are enabled by Jewish progressives who downplay the anti-Semitism inherent in such fatuous claims. However, when Israel is singled out based on demonstrably false allegations, and real abuses occurring throughout the Arab-Muslim world (including religious discrimination, female genital mutilation and ethnic cleansing) are ignored, hatred of Jews suggests itself as the fuel driving the engine.

If the ASA and its fellow travelers truly cared about human rights in the Mideast, they would target Egypt, where Coptic Christians are harassed and murdered; or Iran, where homosexuals are put to death; or Saudi Arabia, where religious freedom is denied and women are repressed; or any other Islamic state that punishes rape victims as adulterers, discriminates against minorities, and promotes global anti-Semitism.

WTF do you mean, "...supposed abuses..."?

There is nothing "supposed" about it. The abuses are real (and many).

Alas, its defenders include many progressive Jews who excuse efforts to delegitimize Israel and dismiss Jewish self-interest as archaic and chauvinistic.

No one is trying to "delegitimize" Israel.

You "act" like that is the reason, because you're an irresponsible adult, who doesn't have the balls to be accountable for your own actions.

The tired refrain from the left is that boycotts are justified because Israel abuses human rights and enforces apartheid – fictions that are enabled by Jewish progressives who downplay the anti-Semitism inherent in such fatuous claims.

They're not "fictions" or "fatuous" claims.

The "occupation" is real. The "blockade" is real. Some IDF prick shooting an unarmed Palestinian woman in a video recently, was real.

However, when Israel is singled out based on demonstrably false allegations, and real abuses occurring throughout the Arab-Muslim world (including religious discrimination, female genital mutilation and ethnic cleansing) are ignored, hatred of Jews suggests itself as the fuel driving the engine.

They're not false allegations and nothing is being ignored.

If the ASA and its fellow travelers truly cared about human rights in the Mideast, they would target Egypt, where Coptic Christians are harassed and murdered; or Iran, where homosexuals are put to death; or Saudi Arabia, where religious freedom is denied and women are repressed; or any other Islamic state that punishes rape victims as adulterers, discriminates against minorities, and promotes global anti-Semitism.

What makes you think they don't?

You need a lesson in ethics and morality.

Yours is precisely the bogus, agenda-driven braying the author is talking about.

Evidence and proof from a source other than Palestinian ?

With a baton round because she was being aggressive, just the same as your Police shooting an unarmed man in the back during a riot.

You need a lesson in basic understanding of the situation, maybe a trip to Israel would be in order
