What's New: Israeli Apartheid 101 by Howard S. Davidson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4uIfFge64Y

A lecture delivered by Professor Howard Davidson during Israeli Apartheid Week in Winnipeg. Davidson unravels the logic of the 'new anti-semitism,' and examines its use as a mechanism for silencing criticism of Israel and for silencing support of the global Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement. It's Israeli Apartheid Week in Winnipeg, Canada and many other cities and towns around the world. In Winnipeg, Israeli Apartheid Week 2011 is taking place on the campuses of the University of Manitoba and the University of Winnipeg.

This clip features a presentation by Howard S. Davidson, Associate Professor of Extended Education at the University of Manitoba and member of Independent Jewish Voices (Canada). He spoke at a workshop entitled "Israeli Apartheid 101" at the University of Winnipeg on March 14, 2011.Professor Davidson demolishes the arguments of pro-Israel apologists who equate support for Palestinian rights with anti-Semitism. Further, he demonstrates that the term "Israeli apartheid" is a legitimate part of the political discourse in Israel, even while those who use it in Canada and the United States are vilified by Israel's North American supporters.
