(Middle East Eye) Joe Biden’s campaign has watered down an anti-BDS line from his platform for Jewish-American communities, removing “racist” language that angered Palestine solidarity activists.
The Biden campaign said in a statement earlier this month that his administration will “firmly reject the BDS movement, which singles out Israel — home to millions of Jews — and too often veers into antisemitism, while letting Palestinians off the hook for their choices.”
But on Tuesday, that line disappeared from the platform. It was replaced with a pledge to “firmly reject the BDS movement — which singles out Israel and too often veers into anti-Semitism — and fight other efforts to delegitimise Israel on the global stage.”
