‘I am opposed to any appearance in Israel that is used for nationalistic or other propaganda purposes to cover up its occupation and denial of Palestinian human rights. I’ve been involved in activities to hold Israel accountable for its international law violations since before the BDS movement took shape. While I have some tactical differences with the BDS movement, I strongly support the actions and continue to participate in them.’
Interesting. Sounds like I should attribute another blind spot to him on BDS. But I know he's been outspoken in condemning Israel's treatment of Palestine, isn't that true? Or am I misremembering?
He spent time on a Kibbutz as a youth. He's stated publicly that he opposes BDS because it would threaten the existence of the Jewish state.

Israel is so atrocious that there will always be incidents at the fringe that can be condemned to enhance one's own credibility.
