And predictably, this article isn't about actual anti-semitism at all. It's just another cynical and dishonest attempt to conflate the boycott of Israeli products in response to Israeli government policies with actual anti-semitism.

Sigh

Recognizing the enormity of the issue, Canada’s House of Commons in February 2016 passed a motion, by an overwhelming margin of 229-51, specifically condemning the BDS movement for its “demonization and delegitimization of the State of Israel.”

BDS isn't fucking antisemitic, looping it in with legitimately antisemitic shit is truly a disgrace because you're making it harder to call out real antisemitism.
