Israel Denial

<p><i>Israel Denial</i> is the first book to offer detailed analyses of the work faculty members have published--individually and collectively--in support of the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement; it contrasts their claims with options for promoting peace. The faculty discussed here have devoted a significant part of their professional lives to delegitimizing the Jewish state. While there are beliefs they hold in common--including the conviction that there is nothing good to say about Israel--they also develop distinctive arguments designed to recruit converts to their cause in novel ways. They do so both as writers and as teachers; <i>Israel Denial</i> is the first to give substantial attention to anti-Zionist pedagogy. No effort to understand the BDS movement's impact on the academy and public policy can be complete without the kind of understanding this book offers.<br />A co-publication of the Academic Engagement Network<br /> </p>
