�CHRISTIAN LEADERS DENOUNCE THE RECENT WAVE OF ANTI-BDS LEGISLATION

Laws that target Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, a powerful tool for standing with the

oppressed, threaten our constitutional rights. As Christian leaders we have long used the

non-violent instruments of boycott and divestment in our work for justice and peace. These

economic measures have proven to be powerful tools for social change, from strengthening

labor rights for farmworkers to ending apartheid in South Africa. Observing the success of

these efforts, Palestinian civil society issued a call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions

(BDS) in 2005 to advance Palestinians’ long-denied rights to freedom, justice, equality, and

self-determination. In 2009, Palestinian Christians included a call for boycott and divestment

in their landmark document, “Kairos Palestine: A Moment of Truth.” Christian denominations

around the world have responded by divesting from companies that profit from Israel’s

occupation and its persistent settlement expansion—both of which are illegal under

international and U.S. law.

In January 2016, the pension board of the United Methodist Church decided to divest from

Israeli banks and a real estate company due to their financing of settlement construction in

Palestinian territory. In 2015, the United Church of Christ overwhelmingly approved a

resolution divesting from companies that profit from Israel’s occupation of Palestinian

lands along with, a boycott of products from Israeli settlements. In 2014 the Presbyterian

Church (U.S.A.) voted at its general assembly to divest from three companies that profit

from the occupation and in 2012 they implemented a boycott of Israeli settlement

products. Friends Fiduciary Corporation, the socially responsible investment firm serving

over 300 Quaker meetings, as well as the American Friends Service Committee, also

divested from companies benefitting from the occupation.

Israeli governmental policy proponents, fearing the growing BDS movement, have launched

a well-funded campaign to suppress BDS. During the last two years, “anti-BDS” bills have

been introduced in the U.S. Congress and several state legislatures. Legislation introduced

in New York, California, Florida, Iowa and other states would prohibit investing in or

contracting with organizations that boycott Israel and “its territories.” These laws may

threaten public funding for social services such as soup kitchens and homeless shelters

provided by churches that have passed BDS resolutions.

�

�These bills attack a non-violent, time-tested, and constitutionally protected approach to

achieving peace. The First Amendment protects more than “speech”: the Supreme Court

has long recognized that it also protects expressive conduct. In NAACP v. Claiborne

Hardware Co., the Supreme Court found that “the boycott clearly involved constitutionally

protected activity” through which the NAACP “sought to bring about political, social, and

economic change.”

We people of faith, representing various Christian traditions, are deeply concerned about

this wave of state and national legislation: It threatens our constitutional right to engage in

economic advocacy to end the Israeli occupation and uphold fundamental Palestinian

rights. We urge our representatives to exercise their considerable political power to halt

these misguided legislative efforts and to uphold the First Amendment rights of their

constituencies.
