This is accomplished by branding
Israel as a pariah and apartheid
state, identifying outstanding
issues — such as the Gaza block-
ade, settlements, the separation
wall, occupation, disproportionate
use of force, or human rights viola-
tions — and rallying their coalition
around it; making pro-Palestinian
activity trendy; promoting boycotts,
divestments and sanctions; and,
most importantly, blurring the line
separating them from those that
criticize Israeli policy yet do not
delegitimize it."
Reut points out that "the delegiti-
mizers work from the periphery to
the center and bottom-up, thriv-
ing in social networks and on the
Internet. Hence, while in formal
policy spheres Israel's diplomatic
position remains relatively strong
and solid, its standing among the
general public and intellectual
elites is being eroded."
It is true that Israel's "diplo-
matic position" for the time being
remains strong, both with the U.S.
government and the American
people. However, as the Jewish
Council for Public Affairs resolu-
tion on countering the delegitimi-
zation campaign adopted at our
recent annual conference main-
tains,"unless effectively countered,
over time it may have the corrosive
effect of changing the culture of
political discussion and making
it harder for people of goodwill to
publicly support Israel.
"If support for Israel begins to
be seen as de facto racism, this
could provide fertile ground for the
growth of anti-Semitism."
The delegitimization campaign,
unfortunately, has made significant
inroads in other parts of the world.
Friends of Israel in this country
cannot afford to be complacent. The
community relations field — with
motivated activists in our own com-
munity joined by non-Jewish allies
who come to this cause based on
relationships forged around a range
of joint efforts in the social justice
and human rights arenas — is well
positioned to develop a strategic
and comprehensive response to this
challenge.
We must act now to prevent
the clouds from becoming a full-
fledged storm. 7
Martin J. Raffel is senior vice president
