    Your link is different.

    Blaming this on an “angry Zionist hacker” is at best conspiratorial thinking. BDS deleted these remarks after being called out for them and then prevented the Wayback Machine from storing captures of this particular URL:

    https://web.archive.org/web/20231008000000*/bdsmovement.net/news/urgent-action-alert-for-meaningful-support-palestinian-armed-resistance

    Notice how other captures are not excluded:

    https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/bdsmovement.net/

    There is no capture of your altered link from before October 12 (and this site gets crawled almost every day):

    https://web.archive.org/web/20231012225948/https://bdsmovement.net/news/urgent-action-alert-for-meaningful-support-for-palestinians

    They backdated this more palatable blog entry to October 8 and deleted the original - and then they went on to remove the evidence, but not before people noticed and took screenshots. Here’s another screenshot:

    The only people who can prevent the storing of captures of their sites on the Wayback Machine are site owners themselves. Explain to me why they would want exclude this particular capture? If it was “evil Zionist hackers”, wouldn’t they want to preserve the evidence and specifically mention this particular manipulation? Why would hackers alter the URL, which destroys links from other sites and social media? Wouldn’t “Zionist hackers” want other sites to lead to the damaging statement? None of this makes any sense.

      The link is not different. It’s exactly the one you pasted into the wayback machine.

      I respect your scepticism but it seems like it was a hacking after all.

      That doesn’t seem to be evidence either way really. They might exclude it because they’re covering something up that they said, or because it was not written by them and misrepresents their movement.

        It doesn’t misrepresent their movement. They have always had close ties to terrorist groups, have a long history of releasing antisemitic statements and the entire idea behind it is nothing but a rehash of this, just under the guise of anti-Zionism:

        There’s a reason the German parliament voted to designate BDS as an antisemitic hate group in 2019. We have learned a thing or two about how to identify these sorts of things.
