Themes have been updated to appeal
to Third World nations and a European
bloc that is susceptible to the anti-colo-
nialism pitch. International human
rights groups have been drawn in.
In the case of Durban, U.N. human
rights officials played a facilitating role in
the anti-Israel ambush; it was Switzerland
that gave in to Arab and Muslim impor-
tuning and called next week's Geneva
conference, and it's the European Union,
again defying a U.S. boycott, that is
lending it international credibility.
Geneva has the potential to be much
more damacrinc , than Durban; even a
watered-down resolution passed by the
signatory nations will create the impres-
sion — patently absurd, but gratifying
to anti-Zionists — that Israel alone is
guilty of violating a widely recognized,
important human rights treaty.
Campaign In U.S.
There's also an expanding domestic front
to the new anti-Israel campaign.
Earlier this year, Islamic and Arab
groups on campuses across the country
called for a "divestment" campaign
against Israel similar to the successful
effort in the 1970s and 1980s in which
colleges and city governments were
pressed to get rid of their investments in
racist South Africa.
Palestinian students groups had sched-
uled a national conference on the subject
for October, but it was postponed after
the Sept. 11 terror attacks. Now, there
are signs the campaign is resuming, espe-
cially in traditionally liberal college towns
such as Berkeley, Calif., and Ann Arbor.
It is being supported even by some
Israeli human rights activists.
Realistic-nlly, this effort is unlikely to
produce any significant economic pres-
sure on Israel. Overall, support for Israel
is at record levels; Ann Arbor and
Berkeley are hardly mainstreet America.
But that's not the point; promoters of
the effort hope to chip away at Israel's
legitimacy in small but important incre-
ments.
The charge that Israel is the new
apartheid state is a specious one. But
repeated often enough, in highly visible
and respected forums, even the most illog-
ical accusations can affect world opinion.
The engine behind the campaign is
one of opposition to the very existence of
Israel; the vehement rhetoric is designed
not to encourage a fair peace process but
to cast Israel as an international pariah,
just like apartheid South Africa.
Nations that go along with this sham,
and international bodies like the United
Nations, are only undercutting peace
efforts they claim to support. ❑
