To the editor:

Rashida Tlaib was totally off base with her claims about which boycotts in the past were akin to the BDS movement's boycott directed against Israel, particularly in her assertion boycotting Israel was analogous to the American boycotts of Nazi Germany. Quite obviously, the most appropriate analogy is to the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses.

Sincerely,
