On Saturday, the Democratic Socialists of America and Young Democratic Socialists voted to join the “boycott, divestment, sanction” (BDS) movement. According to its official website, BDS “works to end international support for Israel’s oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law.”
In short, BDS erroneously believes Israel is an apartheid state. They want Israel cut off from the rest of the world economically (boycott, divestment), and they want sanctions placed on the nation until it complies with their demands.
