Pro-Israel group ACOM hails decision by Supreme Court of Spain, says it will serve as a legal precedent applicable to all further cases involving boycotts of Jewish state
The ruling by Spains' top court says that the movement to boycott Israel represents “discrimination” that “infringes on basic rights.”
Separately, the Spanish parliament passed additional legislation that bars public funding for organizations that “promote antisemitism.” The law uses the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, which cites as examples of antisemitism some forms of Israel criticism.
Spain was once a hotbed of efforts by the BDS movement. A slew of lower-court rulings in Spain had curtailed that trend.
Viva España!
