“This 398-17 vote is a stunning show of bipartisan opposition to the Global BDS Movement. Those of us who want peace need to encourage constructive engagement and a negotiated solution, instead of boycotts. BDS is particularly harmful because it does the opposite, pulling Israelis and Palestinians apart, making it more difficult to achieve a two-state solution. We congratulate the resolution’s co-authors, Representatives Brad Schneider, Jerry Nadler, Lee Zeldin, Ann Wagner as well as Chairman Eliot Engel and House Democratic Leaders for guiding this resolution to passage.”
