Meanwhile, a rabbi and four other members of an interfaith delegation to Israel and Palestine were blocked from boarding the plane in Washington, D.C., to Israel, in what appears to be Israel enforcing its travel ban against people who support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions—or BDS—movement, an international campaign to pressure Israel to comply with international law and respect Palestinian rights. Rabbi Alissa Wise, deputy director of Jewish Voice for Peace, said, “We were told at check-in that the airline has a letter from the Israeli government saying we are not allowed to fly to Israel.”
