Most Israelis favor anti-boycott law
Our anti-boycott law may be unpopular with the BDS'ers and their supporters, but most Israelis think it's a good idea. The Boycott Bill, which passed by a majority of 47 to 38, stipulates that anyone calling for an economic, cultural or academic boycott against the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria will be unable to participate in government tenders. In addition, any person who considers himself a victim of a boycott could sue the boycotter for compensation.Now keep in mind that 20% of the country is Arabs who almost certainly oppose the anti-boycott law, so the Jewish majority that supports the law is actually much larger.
A ‘Panels’ Institute poll for the Knesset Channel concludes that 52% of Israeli population support the new bill, and 31% oppose it.
43% are of the opinion that the bill will diminish world opinion of Israel, and 39% believe that the bill will have no such effect.
