President Trump and much of his Republican Party have denounced first-term Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib as "anti-Semites" and for "hating Israel"—labels that Mr. Trump will likely apply to varying degree to Democrats during the 2020 campaign. 

Both Democratic congresswomen endorse boycotts, divestment, and sanctions—as well as UN censures of Israel—to support Palestinian rights. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, among other interest groups, insists that BDS "intends to delegitimize" if not "destroy" Israel, and many politicians in Washington agree. 

Yet interestingly, Omar and Tlaib are echoing the Republican Party's support of censures and repeated threats to apply economic sanctions against the Jewish state from the days of President Dwight Eisenhower.
