FAIL: Rashida Tlaib Calls for a Boycott of Israel, but Used Israeli Company to Build Her Campaign Website
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), a leading advocate of the boycott, divest, and sanction movement against Israel (BDS), reportedly used an Israeli tech company to build her campaign website.
The British pro-Israel organization Israel Advocacy Movement first pointed out that Tlaib used the Israeli tech giant Wix to build her campaign website.
In a video, the founder of the Israel Advocacy Movement, Joseph Cohen, called Tlaib the “Palestinian Queen of BDS” and said she “has a website that was built and bought from Israel.” . . .
“These hollow threats of boycott are nothing but political stunts that could never be implemented,” Cohen added. “Could you imagine how many people would suffer because they were deprived of the medical breakthroughs and technological advances that come out of this small nation? It won’t bring peace between Israelis and Palestinians. It’s simply narcissistic self-gratifying virtue-signalling that makes the world a much more divided place.” . . .

“We congratulate Congresswoman Tlaib for her decision to use the best products she can find instead of discriminating against Israel in way that increases hostility, thereby making peace between Israelis and Palestinians more difficult to achieve,” Mark Mellman, the President of the Democratic Majority for Israel said in a statement. “We need to foster economic cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians instead of encouraging boycotts. We hope Congresswoman Tlaib’s use of Israeli products indicates she has changed her mind on boycotting Israel.” (Read more from “FAIL: Rashida Tlaib Calls for a Boycott of Israel, but Used Israeli Company to Build Her Campaign Website” HERE)
