Interesting development.... Must be a disappointment for those pushing this BDS movement. Meanwhile, of course, you wouldn't find these BDS hypocrites starting up anything in a Muslim country when an outside group performs and there is no tolerance for other religions in that country.
For the First Time: PA Arrests BDS Activists in Ramallah
Posted by: Aryeh Savir June 12, 2014 , 11:39 am
In an unprecedented incident, the Palestinian Authority has arrested four anti-Israel BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) activists in Ramallah about two weeks ago.
The four, Zeid Shuaibi, Abdel Jawad Hamayel, Fadi Quran and Fajr Harb, were arrested on charges of provoking riots and the breach of public tranquility. The four demonstrated against an Indian dance group performing in Ramallah that performed in Tel Aviv as well. The protesters accused the Indian dancers of violating their campaign for boycotting Israel, claiming that their appearance in Tel Aviv was a form of normalization with Israel. The incident seriously embarrassed the Palestinian Authority leadership and resulted in a decision to prosecute the four BDS activists. The four appeared in court on May 28th to face the charges against them. However, the trial was postponed until July 14th because state witnesses, policemen, failed to appear in court.
