Legislative efforts to combat the Boycotts, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign continue to gain traction internationally. In the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth II announced that legislation will be introduced that bans public bodies from joining the BDS campaign. In the Queen’s Speech on May 11th, which declares the Government’s legislative agenda, Queen Elizabeth explained the relationship between the BDS movement and anti-Semitism, stating, “Unofficial boycotts have been associated with antisemitism in the United Kingdom – including kosher food being removed from supermarket shelves, Jewish films being banned from a film festival and a student union holding a vote on blocking the formation of a Jewish student society.” In the United States, anti-BDS legislation has been making advances on both the federal and state level. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced an anti-BDS amendment to the Endless Frontier Act, a bipartisan bill countering China’s economic and technology development. The amendment de-prioritizes countries for funding from the National Science Foundation for technological research if the countries support the BDS campaign in those technological efforts. Under the amendment, Israel is a designated country to receive priority for scientific investment, along with Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and others. The amendment passed the Senate Commerce Committee in May. Additionally, both West Virginia and Idaho passed anti-Israel boycott legislation last month directed at banning any businesses that promote the BDS movement. The new Idaho and West Virginia statutes both declare that public entities may not conduct business over a total of $100,000 with companies that do not expressly oppose the BDS campaign. These states join thirty-one others which have also acted to curb BDS.
