The Giro d’Italia, international cycling’s second biggest event, is coming to Israel this weekend much to the disappointment of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign.
Back in November 2017, after angering Israeli government ministers, race organizers issued a clarification after their web site and promotional material said the first leg of the race would take place in “West Jerusalem.”
It looks like the Daily Telegraph didn’t get the memo.
While the BDS may wish to politicize the race, it shouldn’t be that the Telegraph unilaterally divides Israel’s capital city even when the Giro d’Italia has not done so.
We requested an amendment and we are pleased that the Telegraph obliged.
