Kustoff Leads Charge to Denounce Rep. Omar’s Pro-BDS Resolution

July 24, 2019

WASHINGTON, DC—Today, Congressman David Kustoff (TN-08), joined Steve Scalise (LA-01), Kevin McCarthy (CA-23), and Lee Zeldin (NY-01) to denounce Rep. Omar's pro-Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.

"The BDS movement is not about peace or equality. This is a dangerous and anti-Semitic organized movement that seeks to delegitimize and economically strangle Israel and her people. It is deeply concerning to hear and see members of Congress on the other side of the aisle advocate pro-BDS measures," said Rep. Kustoff. "It is time for Democrat leadership to bring H.R. 336 to the House floor for a vote so we can demonstrate our support for the state of Israel, and show the world that the leadership of our nation strongly denounces anti-Semitism."
