Summary of Bill HR 867

Bill 119 HR 867, also known as the Anti-Boycott Act of 2018, aims to expand the provisions of the original Act to include international governmental organizations. The original Act was designed to combat boycotts against Israel by prohibiting US companies from participating in boycotts organized by foreign governments.

The proposed amendment would extend these restrictions to include boycotts organized by international governmental organizations, such as the United Nations or the European Union. This means that US companies would be prohibited from participating in any boycotts against Israel that are supported or endorsed by these organizations.

Supporters of the bill argue that it is necessary to protect Israel from discriminatory boycotts and to ensure a level playing field for US businesses operating internationally. Critics, however, argue that the bill infringes on free speech rights and could have negative consequences for US companies that choose to participate in boycotts for ethical or political reasons. Overall, Bill 119 HR 867 seeks to strengthen the original Anti-Boycott Act of 2018 by expanding its scope to include international governmental organizations, with the goal of further protecting Israel from discriminatory boycotts.
