Israel to begin refusing to admit groups leading the BDS movement

The government declared that members of 20 organizations will be barred entry for security reasons as of March 1.

(The Christian Science Monitor) Israel plans to block entry for members of Jewish Voice for Peace and the American Friends Service Committee, among other groups that are part of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement.

The campaign for Palestinian rights calls for an international boycott of Israeli companies and academic and cultural institutions.

In mid-January, Israel declared that members of 20 organizations in the BDS movement will be barred entry from the country as of March 1 for security reasons.
