US fundraising site suspends Palestinian boycott account
None
A US software company said Friday it blocked the fundraising account of the Palestinian-led boycott movement against Israel following a complaint by a pro-Israel group that the campaign has links to militant organizations.
Donorbox, which makes fundraising management software, confirmed that the BDS campaign's account was temporarily blocked while it investigates the allegations.
The BDS movement called the Israeli move "McCarthyite."
The decision came in response to a complaint from Shurat HaDin, an Israeli advocacy group that files lawsuits around the world against Israel's foes, submitted in coordination with Israel's Strategic Affairs Ministry.
