18. You're missing the point.

In fact, you've got it backwards. The reason that BDS attracts antisemites is because it is antisemitic at its core. Suppose you are not an antisemite? Does that change the nature of the movement just because you're not antisemitic? Of course it doesn't. You are one person. What you think of the movement doesn't really matter as far as the movement is concerned. What matters is what the leadership of the movement believe, and how they lead. BDS was formed by the Palestinians as a weapon to use against Israel's existence. That's why the movement calls for implementation of Right of Return. Until that changes, then the movement is antisemitic. Does that mean that everyone who supports BDS is antisemitc? Not necessarily. It does mean that they support an antisemitic movement, either with or without knowledge of the true nature of BDS. But you don't really have the excuse that you don't know, because it has been explained to you ad nauseum.
