Yes that resolution, and the issue isn't the particulars of the bill itself but Tulsi's answer on the show. It's the kind of weasel-worded response I'd never expect from her, I think it's some bad optics.
Fuck it let me transcribe it for you:
Dore: People made a ruckus out of your vote they said it was anti-BDS, right? Tell us why you voted for that, because there was a reason, and then you also voted for Rashida Tlaib's bill that also spoke to that so can you talk about that?
Tulsi: Yes there were a few bills that came to congress, either for co-sponsorship or came to the floor for a vote. I took a vote on a bill that spoke to finding a peaceful solution to the ongoing conflict in the middle-east, part of that bill said... I don't have the exact language - it did condemn the BDS movement which I didn't necessarily agree with the language but I voted on it because I don't think that this BDS movement is the only or perhaps even the best way to achieve that peaceful outcome of security and stability for both the Palestinian people and the Israeli people, I think that's got to be our focus and objective. Right along side that I co-sponsored a bill I think was originally introduced by Ilhan Omar and congressman John Lewis that spoke to the protection of freedom of speech in our own country which I wholeheartedly stand up for to protect and defend, especially as a service member willing to give my life to do so. So while I personally disagree with the tactics of the BDS movement to achieve that objective I absolutely and wholeheartedly support the rights for those who choose to be involved with that or choosing that as their method of protest, without fear of repercussions either from state government or our federal government.
Dore: So the natural question then is, if you don't support the BDS which is a non-violent way to protest the occupation, what non-violent protest - cos when they non-violently protest they shoot them - so what would be a way that they could protest non-violently if you don't support BDS?
Tulsi: Well this is a movement I think, especially this legislation, is specifically talking about people here in the United States as a way for them to lodge their positions and protesting positions within our own government, which I support their right to do so. As we look to the negotiations that need to take place between the Palestinian leadership and the Israeli leadership I think that that negotiation process is ultimately what's going to be required to find a lasting peaceful resolution.
Dore: Right, but don't you think that - so because I think that, see I'm older than you so I actually remember apartheid South Africa and how they used divestment which was actually a good pressure point, so I think whatever is non-violent I'm okay for, but you support a two-state solution right?
Tulsi: I do.
