Is the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, whose ultimate goal is the end of Israel, attracting media attention out of all proportion to its actual influence?
A May 2022 survey by the Pew Research Center found that just five percent of US adults support BDS, with a mere 2% saying they strongly back the campaign. Yet, over the last 12 months, coverage in major US outlets of the BDS movement’s efforts to isolate Israel increased by 45% compared to the previous year.
Meanwhile, Israel’s rapidly rising international standing has generated precious few news reports.
