Phillips notes that the BDS movement seeks not a two state solution, but the elimination of Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people. She notes, however, that the true peril inherent in the BDS movement is not the financial loses to Israel, but its efforts to isolate, stigmatize and demonize the Jewish state in the international arena.'
