Virginia General Assembly Passes Anti-BDS Resolution
(Washington Jewish Week) David Holzel - On March 9, the Virginia House of Delegates passed a resolution condemning the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement (BDS) targeting Israel, in an 86-5 vote with 9 abstaining. Virginia's Senate passed an identical resolution a day earlier by a voice vote. The resolution condemns the BDS "movement and its activities in Virginia, as its agenda is inherently antithetical and deeply damaging to the causes of peace, justice, equality, democracy, and human rights for all peoples in the Middle East."
