Israel is frequently accused of violating human rights and international law, and such allegations are the justifications for boycotts and "lawfare" cases in international legal frameworks. In this seminar, we will examine the history of this "soft power" warfare, the main battlegrounds, and the core actors, including non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the UN and the media. In addition, we will consider Israeli responses and potential future developments.
