On the floor of the House of Representatives on Tuesday, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) had the audacity to compare the anti-Israel BDS-movement (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) to boycotting Nazi Germany back in the 1930s and 1940s. She made the statements when speaking out against a House resolution supporting Israel and protecting it from BDS.
“The right to boycott is deeply rooted in the fabric of our country,” Tlaib said, after which she argued that the Boston Tea Party was basically “a boycott.” “Where would we be now with the boycott led by civil rights in the 1950s and 60s, like the Montgomery bus boycott and the United Farm Workers grape boycott,” she continued. “Some of this country’s most important advances in racial equality and equity and workers’ rights has been achieved through collective action protected by our Constitution.” CONTINUE AT SITE
And that’s when she took the ultimate step of comparing the BDS movement to the boycotting of Nazi Germany:
“Americans boycotted Nazi Germany in response to dehumanization, imprisonment, and genocide of Jewish people.”
