Trump’s education secretary: Efforts to boycott Israel are ‘pernicious threat’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEducation Secretary Betsy DeVos says the movement to boycott Israel has become a “pernicious threat” and a source of anti-Semitism on college campuses.
DeVos makes the comments while speaking at a Justice Department summit on combating anti-Semitism. She says supporters of the boycott movement are “bullies” who claim to stand for human rights, but actually harbor bias against Jews.
DeVos says Israel has friends in the Education Department and that her own visits to the Holy Land have shaped her in many ways.
