This resolution would express the House of Representatives’ opposition to the Global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) Movement targeting Israel, including efforts to target American companies engaged in legal commerce, and all efforts to delegitimize Israel. It would affirm that the BDS Movement undermines the possibility for a negotiated solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by demanding concessions from only one party and encouraging Palestinians to reject negotiations in favor of international pressure. Additionally, it’d reaffirm the House’s strong support for a negotiated solution resulting in two states — a democratic Jewish State of Israel and a viable, democratic Palestinian state — living side-by-side in peace, security, and mutual recognition.
