Netanyahu attacks boycott supporters
JERUSALEM – It is time Israel fought back against those who boycott the Jewish state, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday, dubbing them “anti-Semites.”
The comments come as concerns grow in Israel over a Palestinian-led movement of boycott, divestment and sanctions knows by its acronym, BDS. The boycott has been growing, and pension funds have cut investments or trade with Israeli firms.
Speaking to a group of visiting Jewish-American leaders, Netanyahu said it is time for Israel to “delegitimize the delegitimizers.”
