While the boycott movement is spreading, my gut sense says support for it is much wider than it is deep. If anything, in Canada, the boycott campaign has opened up an opportunity for opponents to articulate the dishonesty and hypocracy. Last week, CBC Radio allowed film maker and "Naked Archeologist" Simca Jacobovichi to provide the balance to boycott proponent Naomi Klein and he chewed her up and spat her out in fine little pieces.

The BDS Movement is not something to be complacent about. But, in marked contrast to the movement against South African apartheid, it has not universalized its message.Our task is to make sure that it never does.'' Yes, that is our job. Thanks, as always, Ben, for your moral and political clarity. ”I don’t wish to be misunderstood. The BDS Movement is not something to be complacent about.
