Photo: Poster Boy For The Not So Friendly BDS Movement

In The Washington Free Beacon, Adam Kredo writes that BDS Leader Posts ‘Overtly Threatening’ Photo to Facebook:

The latest image raising concern among civil rights leaders comes from a Facebook posting by Michigan student Yazan Kherallah, a leading voice in the campus’s Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, a virulently anti-Israel movement that championed the divestment measure.

Kherallah posted photo to his Facebook account of him wearing a traditional Arab headscarf and jamming a knife into a pineapple.

Kredo quotes Civil rights leader Kenneth Marcus, who described Kherallah’s photograph as "overtly threatening" and as contributing to the atmosphere of fear within the University of Michigan’s pro-Israel community:

"In the context of the current controversy, the University of Michigan really needs to know what this student is trying to communicate,” said Marcus, a former staff director at the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. “The knife is held in an overtly threatening way [and] coupled with a keffiyeh, it appears to be a gesture of warning or a threat towards Zionists."

Now let's see if the University of Michigan will do anything about this.
