Senior Counsel: BDS Targets an Identity

Can a state’s terms of business include a requirement not to boycott Israel? The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last week that they can. Anti-Israel boycotts are part of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement (BDS), which promotes boycotts, divestments, and economic sanctions against Israel. NTD spoke with Gerard Filitti, senior counsel at the Lawfare Project, to understand more about the court’s reasoning.
