FORUM MAY VIOLATE LAW BANNING BOYCOTTS SUCH BOYCOTTS
From The Free Beacon:
An upcoming congressionally sponsored forum to promote boycotts of Israel may violate internal rules barring the use of federal offices for events that promulgate discrimination “based on race, creed, color, or national origin,” according to congressional documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The Free Beacon disclosed on Monday that a member of Congress who refuses to be identified publicly is sponsoring a forum this week that promotes the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, or BDS, which has been criticized by Jewish organizations as an anti-Semitic effort.
Efforts by senior congressional sources to determine the name of the lawmaker sponsoring the event have so far failed, but the Free Beacon has learned that the lawmaker is required to attend the event under congressional rules governing the use of official facilities.
Internal congressional documents governing the use of federal facilities also bar lawmakers from hosting any outside organization that practices discrimination.

Typical cowards. They throw the stone and hide the hand ...
We HAVE to find out who it is.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas) was the sponsor of the forum, and she indeed tried to remain anonymous.
The event was cancelled at Pelosi's demand, after a "conversation" with William Daroff, who serves as The Jewish Federations of North America’s senior vice president for public policy and the director of its Washington office.
