Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the United States will regard the so-called BDS campaign against Israel—which stands for boycott, divestment, and sanctions—as anti-Semitic and vowed to cut any U.S. government support for groups that engage in what he called “hateful BDS conduct.”

Pompeo made the remarks on Nov. 19 at a joint press appearance with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, during a state visit to Israel.
