House candidate Yuh-Line Niou vows to oppose pro-Israel, anti-BDS measure

House candidate Yuh-Line Niou said Wednesday she would vote “no” on any pro-Israel resolution opposing the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against the Jewish state.

“I would not vote for anything opposing the BDS movement’s right to exist,” Niou, a state assemblywoman, said during PIX 11’s Democratic primary debate for the 10th Congressional District.

Niou was asked about how she would vote on such a resolution — passed by the House of Representatives in 2019 but opposed by far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — after she expressed support for the BDS movement during an interview with Jewish Insider last month.

She infuriated pro-Israel activists further just days later when she posted a photo of herself preparing to take a bite out of a loaf of challah bread.

I wonder if Ms. Niou has ever heard of Martin Niemöller?
