Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin has signed an executive order to ban the award of state contracts to companies that participate in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel, JTA reported.
Bevin, a Republican, said upon signing the directive that “We will not allow state resources to benefit entities that intentionally engage in discriminatory practices to harm the sovereignty and economic prosperity of any ally nation. Today’s executive order makes it clear that Kentucky condemns the BDS movement and that we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our friend, Israel.”
Bevin signed the order during a ceremony on Thursday at the Kentucky Capitol with Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer , Consul General of Israel to the Southeast United States Judith Varnai Shorer and a delegation of Chabad Shluchim serving Kentucky.
Under the new executive order, state agencies will not do business with companies participating in the discriminatory boycotts movement, and no Kentucky tax dollars will go to support this form of anti-Semitic hatred.
Anyone know which other states have signed anti BDS proclamations!
Please list them and may all the other states sign on too!
