Palestinians: BDS Activists Are Troublemakers, Criminals

The Palestinian Authority's move against the BDS activists shows that it considers the movement a threat to Palestinian interests.

"No, we do not support the boycott of Israel." — Mahmoud Abbas, President, Palestinian Authority.
At university campuses in the US, Canada, Australia and Europe, they are hailed as heroes campaigning for Palestinian rights. But in Ramallah, ironically, activists belonging to the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions [BDS] movement are seen by the Palestinian Authority [PA] as trouble-makers and law-breakers.
