“A bill that would prohibit the Illinois state pension fund from investing in companies that boycott Israel unanimously passed the Illinois House of Representatives Monday by a vote of 102-0.

Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner said on Twitter that he will sign into law the historic bill against the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement

The measure’s 102-0 House passage follows its 49-0 passage in the Illinois State Senate. State legislatures in Indiana and Tennessee last month passed resolutions condemning BDS, but those measures were non-binding, as opposed to the Illinois bill’s specific economic action.

“Illinois is the first state to take concrete, legally binding action against the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign, providing a legislative model for the rest of the country,” said Jacob Baime, executive director of the Israel on Campus Coalition.

The Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago (JUF) said that it “strategized closely with the Governor’s Office” and with Senators Ira Silverstein and Rep. Sara Feigenholtz, the bill’s chief co-sponsors, “to help ensure its successful passage.”

“At the core of the BDS movement is a quest to delegitimize Israel as a sovereign, democratic and Jewish state,” said JUF President Steven B. Nasatir. “This bipartisan legislation sends a strong message that Illinois will not tolerate such efforts.”

  1. Looks like they have all taken their trip to Israel and received marching orders.

  2. All the politicians in the US are nothing but soulless stooges, paid cohorts to the Jewish Mafia. They have no soul, no imagination. no brain, no heart, they only know they have a mouth and an asshole.
