Blaming this on an "angry Zionist hacker" is at best conspiratorial thinking. BDS deleted these remarks after being called out for them and then prevented the Wayback Machine from storing captures of this particular URL:
They backdated this more palatable blog entry to October 8 and deleted the original - and then they went on to remove the evidence, but not before people noticed and took screenshots. Here's another screenshot:
The only people who can prevent the storing of captures of their sites on the Wayback Machine are site owners themselves. Explain to me why they would want exclude this particular capture? If it was "evil Zionist hackers", wouldn't they want to preserve the evidence and specifically mention this particular manipulation? Why would hackers alter the URL, which destroys links from other sites and social media? Wouldn't "Zionist hackers" want other sites to lead to the damaging statement? None of this makes any sense.
The link is not different. It's exactly the one you pasted into the wayback machine.
I respect your scepticism but it seems like it was a hacking after all.
The first link directs to the second one. Is that the problem you were trying to explain, or what exactly?
The URLs are different, the old URL (the first one) now redirects to the new, backdated blog post.
That one isn't that much better either, by the way. "[P]owerful armed reaction of the oppressed Palestinians" is most definitely positive wording - and it makes it sound like Hamas are part of this group of oppressed Palestinians, even though lots of pro-Palestine people like to separate the two. Not BDS though - for them, Hamas and all other Palestinians are apparently one and the same.
Seems like they got hacked and someone spoofed that page but on their site and that after removing it, they chose to redirect to the main/real one.
You said they stopped after a lot of backlash. Can you show me some backlash?

That doesn't seem to be evidence either way really. They might exclude it because they're covering something up that they said, or because it was not written by them and misrepresents their movement.
It doesn't misrepresent their movement. They have always had close ties to terrorist groups, have a long history of releasing antisemitic statements and the entire idea behind it is nothing but a rehash of this, just under the guise of anti-Zionism:
There's a reason the German parliament voted to designate BDS as an antisemitic hate group in 2019. We have learned a thing or two about how to identify these sorts of things.
Your link is different.

There is no capture of your altered link from before October 12 (and this site gets crawled almost every day):
