The thing about BDS is that it doesn't actually impact Israel (see: White House lawn today), but instead tends to land on Palestinians or Arabs who seek relationships w/ Israelis, in this case, the Arab-Israeli internet phenom Nas Daily, who uses his platform to push coexistence. https://twitter.com/jdforward/status/1305975427299672072
The other group BDS tends to land on: American Jews in progressive spaces, who get attacked as stand-ins for Israel, kicked out for displaying Jewish symbols like a Star of David, or told they can't visit their faith's holy sites.
