BDS Watch:
"One State" Conference at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government
The next stop along the way for the international BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions against Israel) campaign is Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. Due do to the usually even handed approach of the Kennedy School, this gathering has drawn criticism from national leaders in a way that has surprised even the organizers. From the likes of Alan Dershowitz, Abe Foxman of ADL, David Harris of AJC, Senator Scott Brown, and even the Dean of the Kennedy School, the message has been quite clear. This event is not balanced or credible and goes against the values the Kennedy School promotes. See below for a cross section of stories about the event. And make sure to check-out our Israel Advocacy page to learn more about the "One State" philosophy of the BDS campaign. |
