Progressive candidate for Congress @OmariJHardy's views on key issues relating to Israel put him at odds w/ many in Jewish community.
Hardy favors #BDS. Would have voted against supplemental #IronDome funds. #FL20 has "sizable minority" of Jewish voters. sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/…
#BDS is widely seen by supporters of Israel as an attempt to undermine its legitimacy. #FL20 candidate @OmariJHardy Hardy likened it to nonviolent protests against racial segregation in 1950s American South and & 1980s divestment campaign aimed at ending South African apartheid.
On Sept. 1, @OmariJHardy told @BrowJewishDems in online #FL20 candidate forum he opposed #BDS.
After more research and thinking about the issue, he said he's since changed his mind.
