US should be 'clear' on opposing BDS, House speaker says

“We can and must be clear” on opposing BDS through Congressional efforts to prevent boycotting and singling out of Israel, House Speaker Paul Ryan tells AIPAC.

“You’re probably thinking, what does a guy from Janesville, Wisconsin care about Israel?” Ryan quips as he winds down his speech. “There’s actually a vibrant Jewish community in Wisconsin, and every one of them is a die-hard Packers fan,” he explains, a reference to the Green Bay, Wisconsin football team.

“There’s also a strong pro-Israel community in Wisconsin, from both parties. This isn’t just some constituency to me. These are my friends, my neighbors.”
