ISRaEL uPDaTE -- July 26, 2019House Passes Resolution Condemning Global Boycott Targeting IsraelThe House of Representatives on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan measure condemning efforts to boycott and economically isolate Israel in a 398-17 vote, the Times of Israel reported. The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS) calls on the international community to withdraw investments and shun the Israeli government, businesses and other institutions. The resolution said the BDS campaign is one that “promotes principles of collective guilt, mash punishment and group isolation, which are destructive of prospects for progress towards peace.” Its critics argue that its goals would fundamentally undermine Israel’s status as a Jewish homeland. The bill also calls for a negotiated solution resulting in two states and says that the BDS campaign “undermines the possibility for a negotiated solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” No one in either party spoke against the measure. “Boycotts have been previously used as tools for social justice in this very country,” said Representative Ted Deutch (D-FL). “But BDS doesn’t seek social justice. It seeks a world in which the State of Israel doesn’t exist.”K.I. partners with AIPAC, America’s pro-Israel lobby, in educating our community on issues affecting the U.S.-Israel relationship.
