Rep. Zeldin Statement on Antisemitic Boston "Mapping Project"

Statement

Date: June 11, 2022
Location: Patchogue, NY
Issues: Foreign Affairs

Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1) today issued the following statement in response to a Boston-based Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) group, called the "Mapping Project", publishing a false and dangerous map of Jewish and pro-Israel groups, accusing them of having a nefarious influence throughout the Massachusetts economy, media, government and more. Congressman Zeldin is a co-chair of the House Republican Israel Caucus and one of two Jewish Republicans in Congress.

"The so-called "Mapping Project' is an antisemitic and dangerous attack on the rights and freedoms of American Jews. The BDS movement, which this group embraces, is vile and enflames antisemitic hate and violence in the United States and around the world. The sick and twisted lies being pushed by the Mapping Project are part of an antisemitic movement that must be identified, called out and crushed in all forms."
