In recent decades, a post-colonial approach has become increasingly popular on campuses. This approach divides the world into groups based on gender, sexuality, and race, with those who have suffered from colonialism (blacks, Africans, Muslims, Asians) being seen as key players. Whites are often labeled as “privileged” or “victims,” while indigenous minorities are celebrated as heroes. There is a tendency to overlook or excuse lawbreaking and terrorism by these minorities.

Academia has embraced principles of post-colonialism and identity politics with enthusiasm. However, truth and facts have become dependent on race and gender rather than objective analysis. Courses promoting hatred of Israel, conferences, and intensive activity by Palestinian organizations and progressive Jews who support academic boycotts of Israel are becoming more common on university campuses.

A global movement advocating for an economic, cultural, diplomatic, and academic boycott against Israel emerged about twenty years ago. Inspired by the hope of ending Israeli actions through similar means as in South Africa, this movement focuses heavily on campus activities. It uses human rights terminology to form alliances with left-wing human rights organizations.

Anti-Israel sentiment is strongly influenced by media coverage, particularly in progressive media outlets that often portray Israel as the villain and Palestinians as the victims. Social media further contributes to negative perceptions of Israel among young people on campuses with misinformation and fake news spreading rapidly amongst students without any real effort to combat them.

To counter anti-Semitism and misinformation regarding Israel effectively could benefit greatly from the establishment of a national authority detached from politics. This authority would focus solely on research management collaboration with Jewish Christian communities research institutes civil society organizations sharing successful strategies learning from failures providing effective responses that promote accurate information about Israel rather than relying solely on emotions or ideology
