��������WASHINGTON — Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Sunday defended the economic boycott of Israel as a freedom of speech movement that’s “pushing back against racist policies in Israel.”
Last week, 398 House members overwhelmingly passed a resolution to oppose the BDS movement, with Tlaib casting one of the 17 “no” votes.
��������”It is a form of freedom of speech. But people want to dismiss it (BDS movement) because they’re trying to say it’s anti-Semitism,” Tliab told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “That’s the way they’re trying to discredit the fact that we all know, under (��������Prime Minister ��������Benjamin) Netanyahu’s regime, human rights violations have gotten worse.”
