Leaders of civil rights organizations spoke out after a Reporter from Nexstar’s station in Portland tweeted a message that many groups viewed as anti-Palestinian while she was covering a protest.

KOIN Reporter Jenny Young tweeted about a speaker who praised the BDS movement (BDS stands for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) which is a Palestinian-led movement, which upholds the principle that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity.

Young described the speaker, who was not identified, as “openly anti-Zionist”, and the BDS movement as “an anti-Semitic movement that’s been admonished by U.S. lawmakers.”

According to the Palestinian BDS National Committee, the BDS movement fights against Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, and discrimination against Palestinian citizens and refugees.

Neither Young nor KOIN responded to requests for comment. Young deleted the tweet about an hour after she posted it, and it had drawn nearly 200 comments, most of which criticized the characterization of the BDS movement.

KOIN owner Nexstar has also not commented.
