DSA Endorsed 2017
Anti-Israel Elimination
National DSA officially endorsed BDS in 2017. BDS co-founder Omar Barghouti has documented ties to Hamas leadership. The stated goal of BDS — the "right of return" combined with economic strangulation — is universally recognized by Israeli and American analysts as incompatible with Israel's continued existence as a Jewish state. AOC, Tlaib, Omar, Valdez, and Avila Chevalier all publicly support BDS.
