Israel's Labor Party Quits Socialist International after It Adopts BDS
(Jerusalem Post) Gil Hoffman - Israel's Labor party said Tuesday it would immediately leave the Socialist International after the organization adopted a resolution joining the boycott Israel (BDS) campaign. Labor's international secretary, MK Hilik Bar, said, "the Declaration on the Palestinian Question is biased, blind to facts or reality, and partially anti-Semitic." Israel's Labor party is a founding member of the Socialist International, the worldwide organization of social democratic, socialist and labor parties.
