I don't think your use of "surely" was very cordial, but I'll indulge your point, thanks for taking the time to respond. If I were a lawyer, I would label those points circumstancial at best:

(1) I'm not sure to which organisation you were referring, but on its own I don't think a link contitutes endorsement, especially when the context is the open source project and not political in nature. It's worth noting that there are a lot of external links in the readme, none looked at the surface level to be linked because of any reference to BDS therewithin. That said, I don't think we should argue this further, it's already innapropriate to comment on political topics such as Israel and BDS here on HN.

(2) Again, the exact cause for this is not clear. There are possible explanations which suppose good faith, and others, bad faith.

(3) While personally I'd lean towards your interpretation (especially considering the use of quotation marks by the poster), it's still not explicit and could be a communication failure.

edit: removed a "but" from (3)
