\r\n\tUS lawmakers have introduced a bipartisan bill which stipulates that ‘criminal’ penalties for boycotting Israel would be extended to companies complying with the anti-occupation Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe measure is a companion to one introduced in the Senate in September dubbed the “Protecting Israel Against Discrimination Act.”<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tThe House bill amends language in bills passed in the 1970s to combat the Arab League boycott of Israel to encompass the modern Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement – and to include efforts that would boycott goods produced in the occupied West Bank.<\/p>","content_source":null,"content_url":null,"content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2016-11-16 13:50:43","content_date_finish":"2016-11-16 13:50:43","content_date_register":"2016-11-16 13:50:43","content_date_last_edit":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"1","content_show_related_img":"1","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"0","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"1","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","old_id":"128291","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"3867301160","attach_date_register":"2016-11-16 13:50:45","attach_id":"138010","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"667","attach_img_height":"397","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"146","visit_date_last":"2025-05-13 00:48:28","attach_title":"US approves more penalties against BDS supporters","node_title":"news","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":122, \"left\":2, \"right\":53}]"}]]
