What exactly does the anti-Boycott bill say? | Joseph DanaThis afternoon, the Israeli Knesset is expected to pass a controversial anti-boycott law. This law will criminalize Israeli support for the Palestinian led Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) movement. Some in Israel are saying that the law is anti-free speech and will limit freedom of expression by Israeli citizens that want to protest Israels occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
