“Every current criticism of Israel – whether
made by Israelis, American Jews, or others –
is used by its enemies as part of an explicit
international campaign to delegitimize Israel.”

===================================

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:

“There is yet a third strain of the current virus of
anti-Semitism, this one even more difficult to diagnose.

Its danger lies in its subtlety, its pervasiveness,
and its acceptability at all levels of our society.

This is a phenomenon familiar to all of us, yet
difficult to articulate and expose: the singling
out of Jewish institutions and especially Israel
for special scrutiny, and the application of a
double-standard to Jewish things and persons.

This phenomenon, which currently has no accepted
name, assumes a variety of forms, but its most
obvious manifestation is the special and often
gloating attention paid by the media, [and]
by intellectuals, and by the government to
any deviation by Israel, no matter how trivial,
from the highest norms of humans rights,
civility, and sacrifice.

Though Israel may be deserving of criticism,
what is missing is the comparable criticism
of equal or greater violations by other
countries and other groups.

This constant, often legitimate criticism
of Israel for every one of it deviations,
when coupled with the absence of legitimate
criticism of others, creates the impression
currently prevalent on university campuses
and in the press that Israel is among the
worst rights violators in the world."
