(Free Beacon) Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) said on Sunday that a United States-led institution of the Boycott, Sanctions, and Divestment movement against Israel is the “kind of pressure” that will lead to a “peaceful process” in the region.
CBS’s Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan asked the freshman congresswoman if she would attempt to return to Israel — after she was banned earlier this year — and stood by her calls for a boycott of Israel if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not win re-election.
“I certainly hope that the people of Israel make a different decision, and my hope is that they recognize that his existence, his policies, his rhetoric really is contradictory to the peace that we are all hoping for that that region receives and receives soon,” Omar said.
