At AIPAC, US Senator Announces New Legislation to Fight Anti-Israel BDS Movement


US Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD) will introduce new legislation this week to combat the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, he told attendees at the 2015 AIPAC Policy Conference on Sunday.

“There’s gonna be legislation introduced this week concerning BDS,” he told a packed auditorium in Washington, D.C.

“Israel is isolated internationally, we know that,” he continued. “Look at the UN votes. Look at how they’re discriminated against. When you have a boycott, divestment and sanctions movement you’re discriminating against Israel, and the United States should take a stance to make sure other countries that want trade agreements with the United States do not participate in BDS against Israel. And that’s what this legislation will do, and we need your help.” .... http://www.algemeiner.com
