I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Strongly Disagree
The global boycott, divestment and sanctions movement is a form of economic warfare that targets our ally, the State of Israel. BDS is anti-Semitic. Period. In addition, this economic warfare is a strategic threat to the United States. The United States government must make it crystal clear that any group, organization, company or public university that threatens to boycott Israel will be punished and will risk being cut o! from the U.S. financial system.

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
The United States must keep strict sanctions on Iran for its support for global terrorism, its ballistic missile program, and its well-documented violations of human rights. The JCPOA is a disastrous deal, implemented through an unconstitutional abuse of executive power by President Obama, that empowered Iran's nuclear prospects. President Trump was right to pull out of the deal, and we must now rely on Congress, and in particular Republicans in the United States Senate, to hold Iran accountable and prevent Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon.
