"A strong relationship with Israel is vital to the national security interest of the United States." 1
"I am unequivocably opposed to the Global BDS Movement and related boycott, divestment and sanctions campaigns against Israel. The antisemetic rhetoric that the leaders of the BDS movement use is unacceptable and has not place in the debate. These tactics moe us fvarther away from peace and are an ugly attempt to isolate Israel from the world." 2
