    Clinton says in the letter released Monday that she agrees on the need to make countering the so-called BDS movement a priority. The letter dated July 2 asks for advice on how to “fight back against further attempts to isolate and delegitimize Israel.”

    The movement has gained strength on U.S. college campuses and in Europe. The Israeli government and many Jewish leaders call the movement anti-Semitic and an attempt to discredit Israel.

    Clinton says in the letter that the movement “seeks to punish Israel” and dictate how Israelis and Palestinians should try to resolve the conflict.

    Too clever. Obama said the same as the administration said it would ignore the law in the Trade Bill requiring it to oppose BDS for the “Territories.”
