"Prof. Gerald Steinberg, head of the NGO watchdog group NGO monitor, suggests anti-IAW protesters take aim at the event by “naming and shaming” NGO funders and the “university accomplices of the IAW organizers and BDS [boycott, divestment and sanctions] campaigners.” “IAW and the broader BDS campaigns led by NGOs are the core of the Durban strategy, adopted by the NGO Forum at the 2001 UN conference on racism,” Steinberg said. “The goal, as adopted by the 1500 NGOs at Durban and extending to IAW, is ‘the complete international isolation of Israel’ as a racist, apartheid and genocidal state. “This NGO-led Durban strategy is not directed at the occupation, or to support a two-state solution, but seeks to eliminate the State of Israel,” he said."

"IAW events will also be held in Jerusalem, where Adalah, the legal center for Arab minority rights in Israel, will on Tuesday send a representative to give a lecture on “Apartheid as it is experienced by Palestinian citizens of Israel.”"
