(MENAFN) The US-based online payment service giant PayPal, for the second time in 30 days, closed the account of a French organization advocating for the boycott, divestment, sanctions (BDS) campaign targeting the Zionist entity of Israel, the Jerusalem Post reported.
On Monday, the PayPal account of the BDS organization Jewish French Union for Peace (UJFP) was no longer permitting financial donations.
A PayPal spokesperson said on Monday: "Due to customer confidentiality, we cannot comment on the details of any specific PayPal account. However, we would like to stress that PayPal has zero tolerance for the use of our secure payments platform to facilitate illegal activities. We make every effort to comply with laws and regulations around the world."
The PayPal spokesperson added that, "compliance with these laws is something we take very seriously. We carefully review questionable activities reported to us, and discontinue our relationship with account holders found to violate our policies."
It's worth mentioning that France has a tough anti-BDS law, the Lellouche Law, which bans discrimination based on "national origin."
