It was left out of the platform in 2012. There was a big campaign with it. They tried to get the people to vote for it. It took three votes. All of them were saying no, no, no. Finally, the chair said, i say it was yes. It was an oral vote. I dont have too much time. I am not going to go through all the members. There were polls. When 60 members of congress skipped the speech of the israeli prime minister, that was sanctions israel. It was because of bds that it made it possible, because there were movements out there. The policy again has not shifted but the political shifts press forward the work of those movements that have made these broader shifts possible. Why now . Because the israeli violations are more violent, more visible, partly because of social media. More people are aware. The political situation of the world is different.
