No, BNP Paribas did not leave Israel because of the BDS'ers

BNP Paribas, a major French bank, closed down its operations in Israel last week. The BDS'ers have rushed to claim that it's their doing. But the real reasons have nothing to do with BDS and everything to do with business. French bank BNP Paribas SA (Euronext: BNP) is closing its Israeli branch and downgrading its operations to a representative office. The move will result in 50 layoffs.Banking
