Israel’s UN ambassador says BDS is anti-Semitism
Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon praises recent US efforts to combat the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.
“Today, we are here to say that the fight goes on,” Danon says at the start of the anti-BDS conference held at the General Assembly.
The ambassador thanks US UN Ambassador Nikki Haley for taking a strong stance in condemning the BDS movement.
“Seventeen US states now have anti-BDS initiatives. Many more will soon join them.”
Danon says the BDS movement should not be considered a legitimate political debate: “It’s simple hate.”
