Rep. Alex Mooney (R-West Virginia-2) explained his support for the bill by saying, "The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement is an economic attack on Israel and BDS supporters do not even think Israel should exist. "Displays of antisemitism have become too frequent in the past few months, even from members of this House of Representatives –and it is time that we stand united in support of Israel," he continued."Under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, our relationship with Israel has never been stronger. We must never forget the important role Israel plays in the world, and I will continue to be a vocal supporter of our eternal friendship."There is nothing noble about a boycott to discriminate against our democratic ally. We applaud the 350 representatives – 175 Democrats and 175 Republicans – who have co-sponsored H.Res.246 and called BDS what it is: anti-Israel, anti-peace and damaging to U.S. interests.
