'BDS is part of the Palestinian fight'

The Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) on Sunday condemned the resolution passed by the German parliament describing the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel as anti-Semitic and racist in nature.

The PLO Executive Committee said in a statement that the resolution was "an attack against the Palestinian people and its legitimate rights," adding that the BDS movement is part of the fight of the Palestinian people against the Israeli occupation regime, apartheid and racial segregation.
