Key Points:
a process of "delegitimisation" taking place "below the surface"
As long as those voices against Israel came from Eritrea or Mauritania, fine; when they start to come from Scandinavia and Britain, it's a serious problem. Look at Israel's standing in the community of labor organizations worldwide – it's a very grim situation. That will continue with consumer organisations, pension funds, the universities.
Barak also commented on the situation on US campuses, noting that "35 years ago, the universities were bastions of sympathy for Israel." Today, however, "you come to a university and you're told in advance whether there will be a demonstration."
These groups are quantitatively negligible, but in terms of their essence, they are the future leadership of the United States and of the world. It's a gradual trend, but it's sliding toward a tipping point, and at the end of that tipping point awaits a slope or, heaven forbid, an abyss.
