Israel Haters Could Face Sanctions

January 20th, 2016 by Mike Vasilinda

BDS or Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel is a growing national movement on college campuses. But today, A House Committee passed legislation that would divest Florida investments and prohibit contracts with any company that discriminates against Israel. Rep. Rich Workman says the anti Israel movement poses real concerns.

“It’s not a myth. There are companies that are very proud of boasting that they hate Israel and wish it to be off the face of the earth, and those are not companies that this state wants to do business with” says Workman.

The state could not purchase goods from companies that discriminate against Israel nor could it invest pension funds in an anti semiotic company. The legislation has the support of some of the legislature’s most powerful members.
