U.S. Representatives Claudia Tenney and Jared Moskowitz have introduced bipartisan legislation called the Countering Hate Against Israel by Federal Contractors Act. The bill aims to prohibit the federal government from entering into contracts with entities that support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which the lawmakers describe as anti-Semitic. Both representatives emphasize that the legislation sends a clear message of opposition to anti-Semitism and reaffirms America's commitment to Israel. Moskowitz referenced his prior efforts in the Florida State House to ban state contracts with groups engaging in the BDS movement and called for Congress to adopt similar measures at the federal level. Meanwhile, reports indicate that two bills progressing through the Israeli parliament could restrict funding and criminalize certain activities of human rights groups and civil society organizations in Israel.

@RepMoskowitz

When I was in the FL State House, I led an effort to ban state contracts from going to groups that engage in the antisemitic BDS movement. Congress ought to follow that lead, stand with Israel, and ensure federal contracts don’t go to these groups either. https://t.co/lckk6nWrY8
