A bipartisan group of House members introduced a resolution that condemns the boycott-Israel movement
A small, bipartisan group of House members introduced a resolution Thursday that condemns the boycott-Israel movement and reaffirms the commitment to a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict -- setting up what will likely become a tense debate among Democrats, who are divided on the issue.
The resolution, obtained by CNN and first reported by The Washington Post, outlines clear opposition to the Global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement -- shorthandedly referred to as the BDS Movement -- which, in its own words,"works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law.
