The U.S. House last month overwhelmingly passed a bill opposing BDS efforts to target and delegitimize the State of Israel.
Concerned about BDS similarity to Nazi boycotts and incitement of anti-Semitism becoming "The breeding ground for escalations to violence," the German parliament recently passed a resolution declaring BDS anti-Semitic.
Our State Department definition of modern-day anti-Semitism identifies expressions of hatred, including when disguised as Israel-bashing and anti-Zionism, the hallmarks of BDS. The BDS movement was founded by left-wing socialists and Marxists in 2001 explicitly to undermine Israel's sovereignty, skillfully exploiting the language of peace, justice, and human rights to appeal to Western audiences.
BDS founder Omar Barghouti calls for the destruction of Israel.
New York Times writer Roger Cohen, a liberal critic of Israel, realizes that "Mellifluous talk of democracy and rights and justice masks the BDS objective that is nothing other than the end of the Jewish state."
Israel has issued a report, "Terrorists in Suits," providing detailed evidence of more than 100 links between BDS and Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, both U.S.-designated terrorist organizations.
Strong forces within the Democrat Party inhibit bipartisan support against BDS. Representatives Rashida Tlaib, Ilan Omar, champion of the first pro-BDS resolution in Congress, and others invoke America's boycott of Nazi Germany and the civil rights movement in their support for BDS. Of the seven Democrat presidential candidates, only Amy Klobuchar supported the Senate anti-BDS legislation.
