After a series of protests led by several radical anti-Israel organizations, the Portland Trail Blazers recently announced the termination of their relationship with an Oregon-based rifle scope manufacturer who supplies rifle optics to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
An assortment of various activist groups, many of which are affiliated with the anti-Israeli Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, have put pressure on the Blazers to end their relationship with Leupold & Stevens.
According to Oregon Live:
Members of the Portland Democratic Socialists of America, Lutherans for Justice in the Holy Land, Portlands Resistance and Jewish Voice For Peace staged protests last year to pressure the Blazers to end their partnership with Leupold, which makes a variety of scopes, binoculars and rangefinders. The groups took issue with Leupolds work with the Israeli Army. Leupold has a contract to supply sniper rifle scopes to the Israel Defense Forces ground arm, and reportedly had at least 800 scopes in military service by the end of 2017.
The NBA is currently embroiled in controversy with China, after Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey tweeted a message of support for Hong Kongs pro-democracy movement. Despite a bipartisan backlash to the NBAs apologetic initial response to China, the league is fervently trying to make amends and has no intention of breaking off their business relationship with the communist nation. The DSA is also planning to protest the Blazers preseason game against an Israeli basketball team on Thursday night.

Funny. These rifle scopes say “Made for use in Hong Kong”. What do they mean by that?
