Federations' Effort to Counter Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions

Federations' effort to counter boycott, divestment and sanctions, led by the Israel Action Network, could be aided by a new Congressional resolution introduced by Reps. Ed Royce (R-CA) and Eliot Engel (D-NY). The resolution expresses Congress’ opposition to BDS, calls on the Administration to actively oppose politically motivated acts of BDS against Israel and supports similar legislation at the state level. With the help of local Federations, Illinois and South Carolina have passed such laws.
