“…Popular support for the Palestinians in Western Europe can be traced back to the late 1960s and formed part of a wider struggle against Western imperialism (Ellis 2014). However, as Kelemen (2012) has shown, the political left in Britain have had a complex and fluid relationship with the Israeli state.…”

Showing Israel the red card. Activists engaged in pro-Palestinian sport-related campaigns. AbstractThis article explores the motivations of activists involved in pro-Palestinian sports-based campaigns. The activists' intention is to bring pressure to bear upon Israel until it complies with international law and supports the rights of Palestinian people under the universal principles of human rights. In response to expressions of pro-Palestinian solidarity, the Israeli state and its supporters are interpreting such activity as a 'new' manifestation of 'old' antisemitism. In seeking to assess whether such activity is informed by antisemitism, ten semistructured interviews were conducted with activists to examine their motives. Their political biographies were explored as were their views on the use of sport as platform to express support for the Palestinian people and/or their displeasure at Israeli participation in international sport. One central theme in the interviews was the activists' responses to the suggestion that they were motivated by antisemitism. A qualitative content analysis of the interview transcripts revealed a shared observation that the accusation of antisemitism was a 'shameless tactic' used by those seeking to cover up the ongoing injustices experienced by the Palestinian people. Sport was seen as a legitimate platform for political activity, to raise public awareness, and to put pressure on the Israeli state. The findings contribute to a better understanding of activist motivations, the use of sport as a political platform, and the challenges facing sport and its governing bodies.

“…149-186). En este sentido, los diversos movimientos contra la guerra de Vietnam, la globalmente conocida Campaña de Solidaridad con Vietnam, conformada por la izquierda británica y las movilizaciones contra el mismo conflicto desde las más diversas expresiones juveniles estadounidenses como el movimiento hippie, han sido temas ampliamente estudiados para la década global de 1960 (Ellis, 2014;Heineman, 1993;Hughes, 2016, pp. 102-143;Lewis, 2013;Milner, 2018;Surbrug, 2009).…”

En la Costa Rica de 1968, un grupo de estudiantes de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR) supo mezclar hábilmente ideas globales y nacionalistas. La solidaridad con Vietnam, la celebración de la independencia y la soberanía fueron los elementos utilizados por el movimiento estudiantil para oponerse a la visita que hizo el presidente de los Estados Unidos al país. Este artículo propone que la solidaridad, el antiimperialismo y las nuevas formas de interpretar el pasado costarricense fueron cambios sustanciales en la cultura política de la juventud durante ese acontecimiento, en el cual se registró uno de los momentos más relevantes de la Guerra Fría para el movimiento estudiantil costarricense. El texto desarrolla ese argumento en cuatro apartados: el primero, explica la visita del presidente estadounidense al país y, el segundo, analiza la notable oposición estudiantil que esta generó. Un tercer apartado revisa la forma en que la juventud enfrentó las repercusiones de su protesta, y el cuarto detalla la trayectoria inmediata de su vocabulario político, puntualizando el caso de la solidaridad con Vietnam, sus valoraciones sobre el contexto latinoamericano y el germinal antiimperialismo estudiantil.
