Democratic Rep. Rachida has defended her support for the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement in an interview on Sunday, July 28, 2019, on the State of the Union program, On CNN by anchor Jake Taber.
"I grew up in the most beautiful cities in the country (Detroit), where you see the civil rights movement in every corner of Detroit, and we did it through economic boycotts," said Tlaib, a Palestinian.
"But people reject this because they are trying to say that boycotting Israel is anti-Semitic," said Tillib, who is being subjected to a fierce autopsy by the Israeli lobby AIPAC and the biased media of Israel and even its congressional outsiders who rely to a large extent on AIPAC´s support. In which they are trying to question the fact that we all know that under the Netanyahu regime, human rights violations have worsened. "
"If there is an economic boycott movement that includes Saudi Arabia, I will be the first to support it" in order to realize human and civil rights, Tabbir was asked about the PDS movement, which targets only Israel.
Tabor, one of the most prominent American Jewish broadcasters, was well-known for his support for Israel after stuttering in the follow-up to the debate over PDS whether Tillib supported Israel´s right to exist. "Of course, but like that, the Palestinians have a right, The Palestinians also have the right to human rights; we can not say that one existence should be at the expense of the other ... we must say that at the same time, otherwise we will not have a decision for peace. "
The New York Times wondered whether the BDS movement was "anti-Semitic." The newspaper said, "After a closer look," she said of the campaign to boycott Israel PDS: "Within months, a campaign to boycott Israel from The margins of politics - from the campus of liberal universities and protest marches - to Congress ... the actual achievements were slim: a few dozen decisions in university student associations; a handful of law enforcement decisions to stop training with the Israeli army; Asian American Studies and the American Studies Association For its limited boycott of the Israeli academic community.
The newspaper then explains that the supporters of Pi. "They are routinely accused of anti-Semitism, while opponents of the movement are accused of trampling on freedom of expression." So far, they are often misunderstood and misrepresented by people on both sides: is it a legitimate and non-violent protest to protect the rights of the Palestinians? Israel and the traffic in anti-Semitism? ".
"The movement seeks the mobilization of international economic and political pressure on Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians," the paper said, "as in the battle against apartheid in South Africa, it calls upon states, companies and universities to sever ties with Israel unless Meet three demands:
• End its occupation of all the territories it occupied in 1967 and dismantle the wall and wall separating Israel from much of the West Bank and divide many Palestinian neighborhoods.
• Granting "full equality" to Palestinian citizens in Israel.
• Ensure the right of Palestinian refugees and their descendants to return to homes and property from which they or their predecessors were displaced in the wars that led to Israel´s creation in 1948.
"Many of those who support BDS believe that it is primarily aimed at ending Israel´s occupation of the West Bank, and its demands appear harmless. Israel claims that it is indeed granting its Arab citizens equal protection under the law, The "nation state" that passed through the Knesset earlier this year gives only the right to self-determination to Jewish citizens.
The withdrawal from the Palestinian territories will create the space for a Palestinian state coherent in accordance with international resolutions in what everyone knows that the fate of Palestinian refugees must be addressed in any final solution, according to the newspaper.
