Fifth Circuit Court dismisses anti-BDS lawsuit, upholding Texas’ stand against discrimination
(Worthy News) – The Israeli-American Coalition for Action (IAC for Action) announced on Monday that it celebrates a victory following the federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling to dismiss a lawsuit challenging a Texas law targeting the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.
The decision, based on jurisdictional grounds, reinforces Texas’ stance against national origin-based discrimination and upholds the state’s refusal to contract or invest with entities engaged in such practices.
The dismissed challenge was brought forth by A&R Engineering, which sought to overturn a law prohibiting businesses with state contracts from participating in the anti-Israel BDS movement. The ruling, which removes an injunction imposed by the lower court, affirms the constitutionality of anti-BDS laws in 37 states aimed at curbing discriminatory practices against Israel and safeguarding US-based companies conducting business with or in the country.
