Decision makes state legislature second in US, after Tennessee, to oppose boycott movement
Indiana’s state senate passed a non-binding resolution opposing boycotts of Israel.
Resolution 74, adopted earlier this week, makes Indiana’s legislature the second in the United States to pass a resolution condemning BDS, or the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign. Tennessee passed a similar appeal last month.
The Indiana House of Representatives unanimously passed the anti-BDS House Resolution 59 on April 22. The measure now goes to Indiana Gov. Mike Pence for his signature.
Last week, the student senate at Earlham College, a Quaker liberal arts institution in Indiana, passed a resolution demanding divestment from US companies that profit from what its authors called Israeli violations of Palestinians’ rights.
On Thursday, Pence joined business and government leaders in Indiana for a business exchange meeting to discuss opportunities for economic collaboration between Israel and Indiana, an initiative extending from a Pence-led jobs mission to Israel in December.
Pence, a pro-Israel leader in Congress before he was elected governor, is considering a presidential run.
I didn’t realize Quakers were that STUPID.
Gotta love those snot-nosed college students, especially lib arts majors or those going for degrees in “wimmins” studies and other gobbledygook that wouldn’t qualify them to be Starschmucks barristas. They have all the answers all right, trouble is they don’t understand the questions.
They were seen around here with "War is not the answer" bumper stickers after 911.
I wanted to ask them "What was the question?"
I didn’t realize that the GOP would tell people how to invest their money
Well yeah, Bush Derangement Syndrome is a problem....
