In the ongoing campaign for Israel's position and good name in the world, this is the most difficult chapter. The challenge is so painful that most of those associated with it look away from it, avoid it, bypass it - so as not to know and not see. You can understand them. The most terrible quarrels take place within the family, and in the case before us it is the Jewish family.

The alarming reality is that a significant number of the calls to boycott Israel, punish it, denounce it, impose sanctions on it, define it as an apartheid state and so on - come from Jews. It is difficult to estimate numerically what their share is, but it is clearly significant.

In fact, it is doubly significant. First, because there are many Jews in the extremist organizations. Second, because their very participation in the movement gives a stamp of kosher to non-Jews, who take part in the delegitimization campaign.

The "Jewish component" in the boycott movement includes two main groups: one - the leaders, from politicians like Bernie Sanders to academics like Noam Chomsky. The second group is the activists, the surface layer, usually young.

These college students sometimes come from backgrounds that are very critical of Israel. They grew up in homes, communities or schools where all the accusations and claims were hurled at our country, without having the opportunity to hear the answers to them, or the answers they heard did not satisfy them.

The second group, which is probably just as small, includes those who grew up in a pro-Israel environment. These boys and girls learned about Israel in the "Hebrew School" or in the synagogue. They heard the basic Zionist story, about anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, the wars of liberation and six days, and believed with all their hearts in what they were told.

But then, on campus, their world turned upside down. Suddenly, they are suddenly explained, with passion and in high tones, that the Jews are the ones who are committing "genocide" on the Palestinians. Most of them remain paralyzed by the attack. Some still fight back. Others leave the Zionist tent - and join organizations that want to bring it down on all its inhabitants.

Most of the parties fighting the boycott trends, as mentioned, are running away from the intra-Jewish challenge. But instead of burying one's head in the sand, it seems that the pro-Israeli side should still look at it, since the damage of being ignored is growing and growing.
