This week begins an annual part of the global campaign to delegitimize and vilify the Jewish state as anti-Israel activists and student groups on campuses around the world, including United States and Canada, mark the eighth annual Israel Apartheid Week [IAW]. One leader, Ahmed Moor, wrote that ending Israel's occupation will require a "Final Showdown."

This was the hilarious allegation made Thursday by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach -- an odd little fellow I invited on my nightly T.V. show, The Arena. Had I not been highly regarded in the Jewish community, my reputation and career could have been severely damaged, all because of the extremism and intolerance of a single voice.
