Israeli-American Activist Jeff Halper Detained over BDS Materials
-----------------------------------------------------------------

And in Israel, police detained Israeli-American activist Jeff Halper
last Wednesday on charges of suspected incitement, after they received a
tip he was carrying materials supporting a campaign to boycott and
divest from Israel over its treatment of the Palestinians. Halper was
held after leading a tour of observers at the illegal E1 Jewish-only
settlement in the occupied West Bank.
