Urge Your Representative to Support Final Passage of Anti-BDS Resolution
The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign is:
Anti-Israel. It discriminates against the Jewish state and targets its right to exist.
Anti-Peace. It undermines the prospects for peace and decreases the incentive for the parties to negotiate.
Damaging to U.S. Interests. It isolates an ally that promotes stability, security, shared values and prosperity.
The House of Representatives will vote on a bipartisan resolution to oppose BDS (H.Res.246) as early as tomorrow afternoon. The resolution is authored by Reps. Brad Schneider (D-IL), Lee Zeldin (R-NY), Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Ann Wagner (R-MO).
Please urge your representative to vote YES on this important resolution putting Congress on record opposing the anti-Israel BDS campaign.
TALKING POINTS
The bipartisan resolution puts Congress on the record in opposition to the global BDS campaign targeting Israel and all efforts to delegitimize the Jewish state.
The resolution reiterates congressional support for direct negotiations leading to a two-state solution, not efforts to bypass talks and use boycotts and other coercive measures.
The resolution supports efforts to counter boycotts through enhanced government-wide, coordinated U.S.-Israel scientific and technological cooperation.
