• Rep. Ilhan Omar introduced legislation Wednesday that supports the anti-Israel BDS movement.
  • The bill cites the First Amendment, the Boston Tea Party and boycotts against Nazi Germany to support its cause.
  • A statement from Omar’s office says the bill is a response to a “widespread campaign being waged by the Israeli government … to silence Americans who choose to engage in BDS.”

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s legislation that offers support to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement cites the Boston Tea Party and boycotts against Nazis.

The freshman congresswoman introduced the legislation Wednesday “in response to a widespread campaign being waged by the Israeli government and its U.S. supporters to silence Americans who choose to engage in BDS,” according to a Wednesday press release from Omar’s office.

Omar said during a Wednesday hearing, “We must support efforts to end the occupation and achieve a two-state solution. … This week, I introduce a resolution … [that] recognizes the proud history of boycott movements in this country dating back to the Boston Tea Party.”
