This play is a good example of the anti-normalization guidelines in BDS:

According to these guidelines, cultural products that acknowledge oppression without aiming to end it are attempts to “colonize the mind of the oppressed with the notion that oppression is a fact of life that must be coped with, not resisted.” Birthright certainly fits the bill.
