I'd say it's textbook racism given the unquestionable liberal/progressive credentials Talve has.

Oh, BTW, this proves BDS is more than just boycotting settlements or Israel as it's now boycotting individuals. A miniscule, insignificant percentage of Jews (not even 5%) are more radical WRT Israel than Talve, meaning BDS and BLM would boycott nearly all Jews.
