That example is appalling and indefensible.

I think it's important to note that it has been condemned by BDS.

According to the website you linked to - "Even the BDS Movement has called on BDS Boston, a group promoting the Mapping Project, to cease doing so"

I don't know more about the issue than what you shared, and do not know the structure of BDS, but decentralised groups are vulnerable to their sort of thing where one autonomous group undertakes actions that are entirely unacceptable.

It's one of the reasons it is so important for groups to stamp out antisemitism within their own ranks and not let it fester.
