U.S. Federal Court Dismisses Lawsuit Challenging Texas Anti-BDS Law
(Los Angeles Jewish Journal) Aaron Bandler - The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed a lawsuit on July 10 challenging Texas' state law barring state contracts with businesses that engage in boycotts of Israel. "There is not a single state that has adopted an anti-BDS [Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions] law that does not have that law up and running in full effect today. Challenges to state anti-BDS laws have not succeeded in a single instance," said Israeli-American Coalition for Action Executive Director Joseph Sabag. "This particular case represented some of the last gasps of the BDS hate movement's effort to attack these laws in the federal courts."
