Recent years have seen an intensified effort by Israelâ??s foes to demonize and delegitimize the Jewish state.
From organizing flotillas to Gaza to pushing for boycotts and sanctions, these misguided militants have sought to rebrand Israel as a bellicose and aggressive nation.
Consisting of an increasingly strident chorus of Islamist radicals, Western anarchists and pro-Palestinian activists, they have made it their mission to besmirch Israel on college campuses, in the international press and at every available opportunity.
Not content with critiquing Israeli governmental policy, this knot of knaves has gone a step further, seeking to undermine the validity of Israelâ??s existence by portraying it as an illicit entity in the region. Left unanswered, these charges may begin to stick, further weakening Israelâ??s image abroad and damaging her standing worldwide.
