Five boycott, divestment and sanctions supporters were prohibited from boarding a flight on Monday from the US to Israel reportedly because of their involvement in the BDS movement, the Jewish Voice for Peace group said.
Three of the five are JVP members, an organization that promotes human rights for Palestinians. Of that group, one of them is a rabbi.
