there are no other "acceptable" boycott movements focused on delegitimating a people. on the other hand, there is an unbroken string of boycott movements going back to 1933 to delegitimate the Jewish people, moving in 1945 from, er, Europe, to the Arab world, and shifting its name and management in recent years from the Arab boycott to BDS.

the prevalence of the attitude that motivates this movement makes it all the more imperative for Israel to stand strong.
