Republicans in Congress are introducing measures to combat efforts by the Democratic Party to boycott the state of Israel, amid a rise in anti-Semitism among the Democratic base and elected officials.
As reported by the Washington Free Beacon, one such bill was introduced by Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.), in the wake of Senate Democrats and the Biden Administration making it easier to boycott products made in Israel. Tenney’s bill would forbid the Biden Administration from rescinding an executive order which ensures that products made in controversial areas of Israel, such as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, are still allowed to bear labels saying “Made in Israel.”
The far-left and anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) Movement has often targeted Israeli-made products, seeking to remove “Made in Israel” labels since they believe contested areas of land are not really in Israel. As such, Tenney’s bill is named the Anti-BDS Labeling Act.
Two weeks prior, Senate Democrats rejected a measure that would have prohibited the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from issuing penalties for products made by Jews who live in allegedly contested areas of the nation. The Biden Administration also recently cut all government funding for any Israeli research organizations that operate in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Tenney’s bill would protect an executive order that had been issued by President Donald Trump, which ordered that “products made in Israeli-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria be marked as originating from ‘Israel.'”
“The Anti-BDS Labeling Act ensures an accurate representation of products that originate from Israel, Gaza, or Judea and Samaria,” said Congresswoman Tenney in a statement. “This not only reinforces existing U.S. policy, but also prevents the BDS movement from arbitrarily discriminating against goods made in Israeli-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria.”
After many years of both parties broadly supporting the state of Israel, the Democratic Party has seen an alarming rise in anti-Semitism within its ranks in recent years, particularly when it comes to a group of far-left members of Congress known as “The Squad.” This group includes Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), the latter of whom has repeatedly made anti-Semitic and anti-Israel remarks since taking office.
The rise in antisemitism has been shocking. It is like history is rhyming again.
It’s not like Israel or its leadership has ever done anything to cause anyone to lose trust or fear them. S/

Hey, the Democratic Party aka US Branch of Satan’s Army has long desired to destroy Israel but that surely won’t happen.
If it’s not blacks, it’s Jews. If it’s not Jews it’s Whites.
The Democrat party just can’t help it, the biggest group of racists on the
planet. And some minorities have no problem with that at all.
It honestly beats anything I’ve ever seen.
The DemonRats have been anti-Israel since its Inception. Since they morphed into the Globalist Socialist Workers Party - GAZIs - it has gotten worse. THEY created the BOGUS PALESTINIAN STATE like they engineered the fall of the Shah, the Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe, the fall of the Chinese Republic, the loss of Korea, the loss of Cuba, the Viet Nam War catastrophe, the loss of Venezuela and the withdrawal from Afganistan. They are soul-less stupid fools whose only talent is duping the low information Anerican voting public.
Doesn’t cost them anything. Who do the Jews vote for?
Ron DeSantis travels to Israel right after he announces his run for POTOS? Is he looking for money or permission? Something tells me there’s a wink-wink between the Democrats and Israel.
Leftists support indigenous peoples everywhere, except Jews.
They support women’s rights, except they support men pretending to be women.
They hate “cultural appropriation”, but love fake Indian Elizabeth Warren.
They want “free speech” like porn, but Prager University (and anything else with which they disagree) must be censored.
They have so many inconsistent beliefs. No wonder they suffer from mental health issues.
The post identifies Israel’s real enemy. There are naive Christians who think we are still back in the 1980s, when Russia was seen as the antichrist nation who will invade Israel.
Why isn’t men pretending to be women called gender appropriation?
Let ‘em boycott away. Support the girl-cott. Buy Israeli goods a little extra, especially those targeted.
For the same reason black people beating up white people because they’re white is not racism.
