If you want to support Israel, boycott its new government....Even if the justification of boycotts has in the past been questionable, I think that American Jews owe it to Israel, and to Israelis like myself, to promote such measures now. After the disproportionate Israeli military incursion into Jenin, and the predictably tragic cycle of violence it engendered the next day in Jerusalem, Israel’s far-right government is using this as an opportunity to further their own political goals. We cannot allow this kind of illiberalism to continue.
Yes, boycott Israel out of love!
As you can tell from this paragraph, Enoch has no love of Israel.
And Enoch's desire to boycott Israel includes an academic boycott.
Im Tirtzu summarizes David Enoch's supposed love of Israel:
Signed a petition calling on EU member states to boycott “organizations and companies if they are active, directly or indirectly, in the occupied territories.”[1]Draft-dodger.[2]Compared the IDF’s activities during Operation Protective Edge to that of Hamas.[3]Signed a petition in support of the Islamic Movement.[4]Participated in a protest against the drafting of Christians to the IDF.[5]Signed a petition in “support and appreciation” of students and lecturers who illegally refused to do IDF service in Judea and Samaria.[6]Signed a petition advocating for the release of terrorist supporter Dareen Tatour, who was arrested and convicted for inciting violence and supporting a terrorist organization.[7]Signed a petition in support of the anti-Zionist organization “Breaking the Silence.”[8]Threatened to take legal measures against students who came in army uniform in support of an IDF officer who was reprimanded by a lecturer for arriving to class in uniform.[9]
Somehow, all these things happened before the current government was (democratically) elected.
