BLUF: The National Committee for the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement is becoming very political on issues outside the domain of the boycott. The BSD Movement claims to be a campaign promoting various forms of boycott against Israel. It is a political movement on issues such as:
◈ The Nobel Prize◈ Arms Trade◈ Military-Security Cooperation◈ Free-Trade Agreements◈ Politicizing International Criminal Prosecution Issues
(COMMENT)
UN experts denounce Israeli apartheid and call for sanctions
A statement by tens of UN experts on Israel's planned annexation amplified Palestinian civil society's callbdsmovement.net
The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), the largest coalition in Palestinian society, commends tens of (unnamed) UN experts for their courage in speaking truths that States and international organizations representing them, including the UN and EU, have sought to evade and suppress.
The UN experts said in a statement issued in Geneva today that the annexation of occupied Palestinian territory currently planned by Israel's right-wing government "would be the crystallisation of an already unjust reality: two peoples living in the same space, ruled by the same state, but with profoundly unequal rights. This is a vision of a 21st century apartheid.”
Mahmoud Nawajaa, the general coordinator of the BDS Movement, really has nothing more to contribute to the BSD cause. He is now clearly stepping outside the lane of a protester on manufactured goods in the West Bank to political matters well beyond his calling.
Most Respectfully,

Protests are sweeping the world in the wake of the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd.
And Israel views the Black Lives Matter movement as a major strategic threat.
“It’s about colonialism,” scholar, writer and former Green Party vice presidential candidate Ajamu Baraka tells us.
Black people are rising up against US colonialism, he says. “So that connection between our struggles and specifically the struggles against the settler-colonial state of Israel is quite clear.”
"Al" appeals to a small, easily identifiable audience.
