Boycotting Israel, and 'Israel as Apartheid':
A list of relevant Beyond Images Briefings

Israel faces growing calls for its isolation.  Cultural boycotts.  Trade union boycotts.  Academic boycotts.  And, most damaging of all, a concerted, global campaign to condemn Israel as a pariah, 'apartheid' state.  These attitudes fuel rejectionism and violence, and make peace, a two-state solution, and stable coexistence impossible.  It's no longer possible for Israel supporters - whether from left or right - to hope that this trend will "fade away".  Instead, it is vital to engage. Here are some Beyond Images resources to help in this crucial battle of ideas.
