US Action against the BDS Movement

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US Government will take action against the Anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) Movement and Groups that Support It. “We will regard the global anti-Israel BDS campaign as anti-Semitic,” Pompeo said, adding that the designation will come along with concrete steps against it. "We will immediately take steps to identify the organizations that engage in hateful BDS conduct and withdraw US government support from such groups." Pompeo compared the BDS movement with "cancer," and reinstated the "ironclad" US commitment to Israel's security: "During the President Trump’s administration, America stands with Israel like never before."
