Newsweek Publishs an Op Ed exposing the BDS movement
This is the same Newsweek which, although a shadow of its influence three decades ago and famously being sold by the WaPo for $1 a decade ago, still finds time to glorify Representive Omar or Tlaib every other issue.
[Newsweek] The past two months have seen an explosion of coronavirus-related anti-Zionist discourse from across the globe. Notably, proponents of the global "Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS)" campaign against Israel have lost no time in exploiting the outbreak to feed their obsessive vendetta. But BDS appropriation of coronavirus is only part of a larger effort‐popular within the Arab and Muslim world‐to incorporate coronavirus into pre-existing anti-Zionist and anti-Jewish ideologies.

Jews have long been accused of producing or spreading diseases. Modern iterations of these charges include Nazi myths of the Jewish biological threat, Hamas' assertions that "Zionists" use HIV-positive women to seduce and infect Arabs and the Iranian regime's habit of terming Israel a "cancerous tumor."

#2 No, it just gives them a chance to air lines like, "Jews have long been accused of producing or spreading diseases."
