The Jerusalem Post: Lobbyists Push for Israel Anti-Boycott Law in End-of-Year Spending Bill

The Jewish Democratic Council of America recently endorsed the bill as “consistent” with the 2016 Democratic Party platform.

“The bill will extend existing US legal protections which protect companies from coercion by foreign countries to participate in boycotts of Israel to include protection from boycotts led by international governmental organizations, such as the United Nations,” the group stated. “We support the Israel Anti-Boycott Act, as amended, and urge passage of this legislation during the 115th Congress. We are encouraging JDCA members to write to their member of Congress to support passage of the bill by the end of the year.”
