Congressional Anti-Israel Briefing Rescheduled off Capitol Grounds
Weekly Standard ^ | 9/15/16 | Jenna Lifhits

Posted on 09/15/2016 3:52:13 PM PDT by Nachum

A cancelled event advocating for economic boycotts of Israel has been rescheduled down the street from its original location in one of the House of Representatives office buildings, according to an invitation obtained Thursday by THE WEEKLY STANDARD.

The briefing, sponsored by the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, is being billed as a "Capitol Hill event" about the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, but will be occurring at the United Methodist Building. TWS reported Monday that Texas congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee was listed as the anonymous sponsor of the event when it was scheduled to occur in a room in the Rayburn House Office Building next to the U.S. Capitol.

The congresswoman's office withdrew sponsorship Tuesday, telling TWS that a former staffer had made the reservation on behalf of the U.S. campaign, and that the office did not know anything about the group sponsoring it or the BDS movement. The event was subsequently cancelled.

Jackson Lee's office told TWS Thursday that the congresswoman would not be attending the event in its new location, either.

Prolly moved to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the ‘residential’ portion of the building, no doubt.

Lee has been a Nazi type for years

it is deplorable that her district elects her, people like her belong in prison or a mental ward, imho

Yes, Genesis 12 verse 3 is very specific.

Sheila, will you please translate your signs saying “Juden Raus!” into English so non-German speakers will understand them?
