The BDS campaign (ironically started by an Arab student at Tel Aviv University), responsible for driving the idea of Israeli Apartheid, can attribute its success to a simple and deadly-effective strategy: Under the self-proclaimed label of human-rights activism, they incessantly repeated a short, emotive claim of Israeli Apartheid so many times that it was believed – not because it rightfully triumphed due to the merit of its truth, but because it had simply been sufficiently repeated. While this was happening, the pro-Israel activist was responding with myriad facts and counter-arguments, attempting to dispel the myth of Israeli Apartheid – blissfully unaware that by engaging in the nonsensical debate at all, he was actually legitimising it. Cyril Benjamin slices through the bullshit in this lucid, uncluttered and incredibly incisive piece.
