| Summary/Abstract |
In response to growing Palestine solidarity activism globally—and particularly in countries that have been traditional allies of Israel—the Israeli government has launched a well-resourced campaign to undermine such efforts. A key element of this campaign consists in equating Palestine advocacy; the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement; and anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism. The concerted effort to delegitimize solidarity with the Palestinians is taking place even as genuine anti-Semitism is on the rise, thanks to the resurgent white nationalism of the Far Right in Europe and North America—political forces that Israel is harnessing to help shield from scrutiny and accountability its apartheid policies toward Palestinians, both citizens of the state as well as those under military rule. In its efforts to conflate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism, the Israeli government is assisted by non-state organizations that nonetheless enjoy close ties with the state and its agencies.

The vision of food sovereignty calls for radical changes in agricultural,
political and social systems related to food. These changes also
entail addressing inequalities and asymmetries of power in gender
relations. While women’s rights are seen as central to food sovereignty,
given the key role women play in food production, procurement
and preparation, family food security, and food culture, few
attempts have been made to systematically integrate gender in food
sovereignty analysis. This paper uses case studies of corporate agricultural
expansion to highlight the different dynamics of incorporation
and struggle in relation to women’s and men’s different position,
class and endowments. These contribute to processes of social differentiation
and class formation, creating rural communities more complex
and antagonistic than those sketched in food sovereignty
discourse and neo-populist claims of peasant egalitarianism, cooperation
and solidarity. Proponents of food sovereignty need to address
gender systematically, as a strategic element of its construct and not
only as a mobilising ideology. Further, if food sovereignty is to have
an intellectual future within critical agrarian studies, it must reconcile
the inherent contradictions of the ‘we are all the sa
