The forum unleashed the \""new\"" antisemitism which targeted the State of Israel, as well as a non-violent, civil society-based campaign based on the South African anti-apartheid campaign of the 1980s which was to form the basis of the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movemen.
