Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) seeks to raise awareness about Israel’s apartheid policies towards the Palestinians and to build support for the growing Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign.
Reflecting the global grassroots rejection of Israel’s military and political aggression, IAW was held in more than 200 locations in 2012 and more than 150 cities in 2013.

アジアはともかくとして、肝心のアラブ諸国とパレスチナにおける開催予定が未定ってのがなんとも。
特にパレスチナの場合、ヨルダン川西岸地区と Gaza 地区の両方で開催できれば、というのがあるだろうし・・・。


で、この IAW が訴えているイスラエルへのボイコット運動に関して、ベンヤミン・ネタニャフ(Benyamin Netanyahu)イスラエル首相が「反ユダヤ主義」云々と言い張ったのは言うまでもない。
・Israel boycott movement is antisemitic, says Binyamin Netanyahu(2014年2月18日 theguardian.com)

Netanyahu 首相は、エルサレム(Jerusalem:al-Quds)で米国のユダヤ系団体からなる米国主要ユダヤ組織会長会議(The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations)が主催した会合で、イスラエルへのBDS運動について非難していた。
以下、2014年2月18日分 theguardian.com『Israel boycitt movement~』から前半部分を(略

(中略)
"Some supporters of the movement see it as a way to put pressure on Israel to end illegal settlements in the territories occupied in the 1967 war; others favour the creation of a single state that would dismantle Israel.

"I think the most eerie thing, the most disgraceful thing is to have people on the soil of Europe talking about the boycott of Jews," Netanyahu said.
"In the past, antisemites boycotted Jewish businesses and today they call for the boycott of the Jewish state. And by the way, only the Jewish state.

"The founders of the BDS movement make their goals perfectly clear. They want to see the end of the Jewish state. They're quite explicit about it. And I think it's important that the boycotters must be exposed for what they are. They're classical antisemites in modern garb. And I think we have to fight them. It's time to delegitimise the delegitimisers."

Netanyahu's remarks reflect anger and anxiety in Jerusalem about BDS, which claims to have made a significant advance during the recent row involving Scarlett Johansson's sponsorship of a factory in a West Bank settlement and her leaving her role as a goodwill ambassador for Oxfam

イスラエルへのBDS運動は、「ユダヤ国家」という定義自体を問題としてないんだけどさ・・・。
イスラエルの方針に反対する人達を「反ユダヤ主義者」と言い張る手法って、いい加減みんな飽きてるんじゃね?

また、Netanyahu首相はイスラエルへのBDS運動を危険視する一方で、イスラエルの経済や技術に関して自信たっぷりな発言をしていた。
これに対し、パレスチナBDS運動委員会(?)(Palestinian BDS national committee)に所属する Rafeef Ziadah は意味深なコメントを・・・。
以下、2014年2月18日分 theguardian.com『Israel boycitt movement~』から終盤部分を(略

---- 以下引用 ----
(中略)
But Israel was far from being shunned, Netanyahu insisted: "Israel is being sought after.. Founders and leaders of big companies and some small companies and medium-sized companies … are all coming to Israel. They all want the same three things: Israeli technology, Israeli technology and Israeli technology. They know that Israel is the repository of great genius, great creativity, entrepreneurship, innovation, scientific capability, out-of-the-box thinking."

But Rafeef Ziadah, from the Palestinian BDS national committee, said: "More international corporations are ending their business and shying away from bids in Israel This trend is due to continue until Israel abides by international law and ends its system of colonialism, apartheid and occupation. The BDS movement is steadily making 'Brand Israel' a toxic one."

今後の展開はイカに(謎)。
