BDS is de facto a racist project. We can point to a minority of its activists who aren't actual bigots but that doesn't excuse the fact that it's objective is to get public institutions to discriminate against Jews by opposing their right to self-determination - the specific fact that makes BDS Antisemitic under functioning definitions of Antisemitism.

BDS is specifically Antisemitic as an organization. Not all protest of Israel is Antisemitic, however, and Trump isn't proposing to punish all criticism of Israel. He's applying the functional definition of Antisemitism adopted in multiple European countries and incorporating it into civil rights protections for Jews and Israelis.

You can still criticize the Israeli government. Implementing a boycott for discriminatory reasons, and let's not pretend BDS isn't filled with Antisemites because I know y'all aren't that obtuse, that impacts minority students disproportionately on the basis of their ethnic or national origin is discriminatory.Gormwood wrote:The KKK didn't boycott peanut butter just because George Washington Carver invented it.
