The anti-Jewish bigotry that characterizes the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement has become even more apparent as BDS activists have created a local map in Massachusetts to target Jews for being Jews. CAMERA’s backgrounder documents the fundamental anti-Jewish nature of this movement and how it has become a haven for anti-Semites to indulge their racism.
Blood libels are nurtured by hatred and weakened by exposure. In the second of our "Blood Libel" articles, we take a closer look at how Palestinian and BDS activists, in particular, have used the pandemic to libel and incite against Israel.
A Los Angeles Times column by academics Dr. David N. Myers and Joshua Goetz highlights a growing editorial trend in which left-leaning media outlets downplay the impact of antisemitism on the left and blame its rise on Israel's actions. This narrative ignores the deep historical roots of anti-Zionist ideology and leaves American Jews vulnerable to the immediate hostility they encounter within their own political and social environments.
With pretentious and obscure rhetoric, Spain's ABC dresses up anti-Western sentiment and Jew-hatred as "culture." Martín-Miguel Rubio Esteban draws from an ancient religious hatred to whip up a more modern nationalistic bigotry.
Quality journalism requires curiosity, skepticism, and an appreciation for nuance. A good journalist would have cited thoughtful critics of the war, not Carlson, a racist kook whom most Americans, including Republicans, do not view favorably.

Britain's Jews have faced a tsunami of hatred since the October 7 attack, but even for the Guardian, this may be a new low.
While we do not yet know the names of those responsible for this latest attack, we do know the rhetoric and actions that are creating these fears and security concerns. The BBC however, while content to point fingers at Israel, does not seem to want to name them.
While appearing on PBS' "Off the Record," Michigan State Representative Alabas Farhat blamed Jews for the joint U.S.-Israel military operations in Iran. He also described Iran as simply a country with which "we don't agree." A four-person panel did very little, if anything, to challenge him.
A March 14, 2026, episode of The Weekend: Primetime exposed the hypocrisy of panelists who invoked antisemitism on the Right to attack Republicans while downplaying its dangers on the Left. In doing so, they overlooked that support for Hitler or for terrorism against Israelis ultimately reflects the same endorsement of violence against Jews.
Instead of finding reasonable actors to treat the topic of the U.S.–Israeli relationship with a level of seriousness, Newsweek’s Jordan King went to social media, famously an arena of serious conversations and measured opinions.
