Court Strikes Down Texas Anti-BDS Movement Bill

A federal judge in Texas struck down a state law Thursday that required government contractors to sign a pledge not to participate in the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction (BDS) movement.

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed House Bill 89 into law in May 2017, also known as the Anti-BDS law, and lawsuits have since been filed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Texas.

“Anti-Israel policies are anti-Texas policies, and we will not tolerate such actions against an important ally,” Abbott said at the time of the laws passing, making it one of more than a dozen states that have passed similar laws.

CAIR sued on behalf of Texas speech pathologist, Bahia Amawi, who said she was fired from her job for refusing to sign the anti-BDS contract. (RELATED: Speech Pathologist Was Fired From Texas School District For Refusing To Sign Pro-Israel Statement. Now Shes Suing)

Amawi is an American citizen of Palestinian descent, who sought an injunction intended to remove the anti-BDS clause from school contracts.

Judge Robert Pitman of the Western District of Texas ruled the states law violated the First Amendment by threatening to “suppress unpopular ideas” and “manipulate the public debate through coercion,” according to Common Dreams.
