Israel releases prominent Palestinian BDS activist
|
[IsraelTimes] Israel on Monday released a West Bank leader of the global campaign to boycott the Jewish state, following his arrest last month by Israel’s internal security agency.
Mahmoud Nawajaa, coordinator of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement in the West Bank and Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
, was arrested at his home in Ramallah on July 30.
Several rights groups, including Amnesia Amnesty International, campaigned for his release, including through rallies in Ramallah and Gaza this month.
Israeli military tribunals exercise jurisdiction over Paleostinians in the West Bank.
A Shin Bet spokesperson told AFP that Nawajaa had been "arrested and questioned on security matters... and released at the end of the investigation."
The BDS movement calls for a wide-ranging embargo of Israel over its treatment of the Paleostinians. Israel sees BDS as a strategic threat and accuses it of anti-Semitism.
A law passed in 2017 allows Israel to ban foreigners with links to BDS.
Last year, Israel expelled the country director of Human Rights Watch, Omar Shakir, after accusing him of supporting BDS, a claim he denied.
Israeli sources had previously told AFP that Nawajaa’s arrest was not linked to his role with the BDS movement.
