In September 2019, the Ministry of Strategic Affairs published a report, “Behind the
Mask,” which demonstrated the connection between antisemitism and the Boycott
Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement and its delegitimacy campaign against the
State of Israel. The report included over 80 examples of leading BDS activists
disseminating antisemitic content, consistent with the International Holocaust
Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism.
Following the report, and in the wake of the coronavirus crisis, the Ministry has been
monitoring antisemitism and efforts to delegitimize Israel with the linking of the State
of Israel and Jews to the coronavirus. The Ministry and other organizations focused on
combatting hate speech found multiple cases of BDS-supporting organizations and
senior government and quasi-governmental officials propagating antisemitic
conspiracies and libels.
