A recent gaffe by a BDS supporter has made her the target of ridicule online, and might cause one to wonder just how well-versed these "activists" actually are when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Last week, a BDS supporter posted a picture of a pendant she apparently purchased, which she said symbolized opposition to the "occupation."

"To stand with Palestine is to stand with Humanity," she wrote above a picture of the pendant, which is made of white metal in the shape of the state of Israel.

However, some social media users noticed that the pendant's outline of Israel actually surrounded Hebrew letters that read "Shema Yisrael."

One was Israeli rapper Yoav Eliassi (AKA The Shadow), who took care to take a screen shot of the post.

"This genius posted a picture of a pendant of 'Palestine' she bought, and wrote 'To stand with Palestine is to stand with humanity. But she didn't notice that what is written in the pendant is 'Shema Yisrael,'" Eliassi wrote in social media post that garnered tens of thousands of likes.

Instagram followers were quick to add their own takes on the error, with one user writing, "Her brain went out for a walk and hasn't come back." Another said, "God had given up."

A few hours after the comments began flooding in, the picture was removed.
