I assume you are referring to the Democrat controlled US House passing a resolution with bipartisan support and a 398-17 vote which condemns BDS[1].

BDS is still allowed to operate and the condemnation has no state-actionable consequences against BDS. And there are members of the US congress who openly support BDS.

No, actually I'm referring to almost every piece of legislature in each of the us states. In which the first to ratify the sanctions being Tennessee a republican state. http://jewishobservernashville.org/2015/04/22/tennessee-legi...

But I assume all you did was a quick google search to confirm your bias.

Hmm, It seems the majority of the states to ratify resolutions have been overwhelmingly republican.

It seems as if. Everyone in the us who does not support the bds movement.
