Anything that promotes the destruction, demonization and delegitimization of Israel, the world’s only Jewish state, is inherently anti-Semitic. To falsely accuse Israel, and by extension the vast majority of the world’s Jews who support the Jewish state, of “apartheid,” is a form of anti-Semitic bullying. Apartheid is unquestionably an evil and racist crime against humanity. Linking Jews and Israelis to the bogus charge of apartheid has become the poster child of 21st century anti-Semitism and getting support from a minuscule, fringe group like Independent Jewish Voices doesn’t change that fact.
