The state legislature of Utah has passed a bill targeting the anti-Israel BDS movement.
The measure, sponsored by Utah State Sen. Daniel Hemmert and State Rep. Joel Ferry, known as the Anti-Boycott Israel Amendments, prohibits a government entity from contracting with a person that boycotts the State of Israel, JNS reported.
If Gov. Spencer Cox signs it into law, which he is expected to do, Utah will join 32 other states with similar legislation.

Jewish Journal reported over the weekend.
The college students had not only failed to do their homework, they promoted a libel that is clearly disproved by facts and history.
The student council passed a motion entitled “A Resolution Calling for the UC to Divest from War,” which was a backdoor attempt by the anti-Israel movement to promote the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) resolution passed by the UCLA student government in 2014, the
