Indiana legislature unanimously passes anti-BDS bill

The president of the Jewish Affairs Committee of Indiana, which lobbied for the bill, thanked the state House for its passage.

The Indiana House of Representatives unanimously approved a bill banning state dealings with entities that boycott Israel.

The bill sent to the state’s Senate on Jan. 26 defines “the promotion of activities to boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel” as meeting the standard of “extraordinary circumstances” necessary under state law to mandate divestment from a company.
