That would be the anti-Semitic “Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions” movement, not Bush Derangement Syndrome. CNN thinks the vote was “divisive”

The vote was 398-17
The House of Representatives on Tuesday voted to approve a non-binding resolution that opposes the boycott movement against Israel, a measure that won broad bipartisan support but faced pushback from some high-profile progressives.
The vote was 398 to 17.
The resolution was introduced in March, not long after Democrats faced a bruising internal debate over how to handle comments and tweets by Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar that were criticized as being anti-Semitic, exposing the divide within the Democratic Party over Israel and US policy towards the country.
Oh, they meant it was divisive because a few of the people who voted against it are high profile Israel haters, including Ilhan Oman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib. Most of the rest who are Israel haters, and, in some case, Jew haters, were wise enough to not vote against the resolution
(CNS News) Sponsored by Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.), and co-sponsored by almost 80 percent of the House (175 Republicans and 174 Democrats), H.Res. 46 passed by 398 votes to 17.
The measure opposes the BDS movement, calls on Israelis and Palestinians to resume direct negotiations, reaffirms support for the so-called “two-state solution†to the conflict, and – in response to a key complaint of opponents – affirms U.S. citizens’ constitutional right to free speech.
Schneider has called the BDS movement anti-Semitic (it is) and stated “There are a lot of people who support the BDS movement, but they may not necessarily understand the intent or the expression of … the BDS movement.”
