The Senate voted Tuesday to pass legislation that encourages state governments in the United States not to sign contracts with supporters of boycotts against Israel or its settlements in the West Bank. The law isn’t thought likely to pass the House of Representatives at this point due to Democratic control over the chamber. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee applauded the Senate for passing the legislation. The pro-Israel lobby gave strong backing to the anti-BDS law, fighting back against the warnings of the ACLU regarding free speech concerns.
