So, who are the 17 members of Congress who voted against House Resolution 246 which condemns the anti-Israel, terrorist-funded BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement?
JULY 25, 2019 BY BARENAKEDISLAM
The US House of Representatives voted 398 – 17 Tuesday to pass a non-binding resolution that opposes the BDS movement against Israel. 16 of the 17 “NO” votes were Democrats, including 3 of 4 members of the ‘Jihad Squad’ – Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Andre Carson (D-IN), a Muslim, also voted “NO.”
The Dems that voted against HR 246
Rep Betty McCullom-Minnesota
Rep Raul Grijalva-Arizona
Rep Mark Pocan-Wisconsin
Rep Gwen Moore-Wisconsin
Rep Bonnie Watson Coleman-New Jersey
Rep Earl Blumenaur-Oregon
Rep Barbara Lee-California
Rep Jesus Garcia-Illinois
Rep Debby Dingell-Michigan
Rep Primiya Jayapal-Washington
Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-New York
Rep Rashida Tlaib-Michigan
Rep Ilhan Omar-Minnesota
Rep Bobbie Rush-Illinois
Rep Chellie Pingree-Maine
Rep andre Carson-Indiana
The resolution, first introduced in March, argues the global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement is an effort to delegitimize Israel and urges “Israelis and Palestinians to return to direct negotiations as the only way to achieve an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
There is much more powerful and biting anti-BDS resolution proposed by the Senate Republicans, is on the desk of Speaker Pelosi collecting dust. Pelosi knows that many more Democrats would not support a bill that actually attacks the BDS Movement instead of just condemning it.
At the same time, radical Somali Congressmuslim Ilhan Omar (D-MN) submitted a pro-BDS resolution to Congress, while announcing a taxpayer-funded trip to Israel. (Israel has not yet decided whether it will allow her or her Congressmuslim partner in Jew-hatred, Rashida Tlaib, into the country, because of their pro-BDS activism)
i24NewsDemocratic lawmaker Ilhan Omar introduced Tuesday a new resolution in Congress that will pave the way for Americans to participate in the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanction) movement against Israel,
The resolution, co-sponsored by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who’s family is Palestinian, and Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), affirms that “all Americans have the right to participate in boycotts in pursuit of civil and human rights at home and abroad, as protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution.”
The resolution itself reportedly does not mention the BDS movement, but pave the way for bypassing the Combating BDS Act that was approved in the Senate.
Omar submitted the resolution after five pro-Israel bills were advanced by the US foreign affairs committee. One of the five bills, H.R. 246, specifically contained anti-BDS language.
Ilhan Omar also announced that she intends to visit Israel and the Palestinian Territories in the coming weeks.
They should be frog marched out of Congress and put on a leaky boat to Madagascar.
I don’t know all of these people, but I see Illinois is nicely represented: Bobby Rush, black racist dimwit, and Chuy Garcia, communist dimwit successor of Luis Guttierrez.
The sole Republican to vote against the resolution was Thomas Massie of Kentucky. What’s with him?
WTF would Israel even consider letting these a-holes into their country?
I hope Pres. Trump denies her the use of any US Government
aircraft. She can pay for her own transportation. In addition
I hope denies her any use of official government
facilities over there.
This list is the craziest of the crazies. However the real story is that the House didn’t bring up the bill passed by the Senate that allows states to refuse to do business with BDS companies. Instead Pelosi brought a symbolic resolution to the floor so that House members can pretend to be pro-Israel except for the radical fringe who can’t even pretend to be pro-israel.
