Israeli Apartheid Week is an annual series of pro-BDS university lectures and rallies now held in dozens of cities worldwide. Through 2020 the opening reported that the event "has been criticized by some political figures as anti-Israeli and by some others as anti-Semitic." Today that criticism is gone from the opening, replaced by the organizers' own description of IAW's aims, though antisemitic survives eight times in the body. A reader arriving now learns how the organizers describe their own goals and not that the event has drawn accusations of antisemitism.
