I have frequently pointed out that the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions (BDS) movement not only is
deeply rooted in historical anti-Semitic movements and boycotts, but also shares common ideals and membership with anti-American movements.
Much as Iranian Islamists consider Israel the Little Satan and the United States the Great Satan, so too leftist and Islamist BDS supporters share a hatred of Israel and the United States.
Israel is hated not just because it is Jewish, but also because it is viewed as an outpost of American-led oppression of non-whites, colonialism and imperialism. Under the now-fashionable doctrine of intersectionality, Israel is held out as the unique connecting force among capitalist and American-imperialist evils, much as the Jew has been held out in history through anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
