Any attempt to demonize, marginalize, and endanger Jews - which is what BDS does - is a threat. The rise of BDS has happened concurrently with a sharp spike in antisemitic violence throughout Europe. This is no coincidence, as it's one of the goals (or nice side benefits) of BDS.

Also, BDS isn't about criticizing Israel or working for Palestinian rights. It's about ending Israel altogether, taking away Jewish rights, & therefore making life for Jews intolerable worldwide, so try being honest next time around. If BDS cared about Palestinian rights, there'd be at least some concern over the rights of Palestinian women, children, gays, & christians under Hamas rule or within Syria, for example.
