Peter J. Roskam (R-IL) and Juan Vargas (D-CA) have introduced the Protecting Israel Against Economic Discrimination act in the House of Representatives to push back against the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. A media release by Roskam's office says, "This bill specifically combats attempts by intergovernmental bodies such as the United Nations to engage in politically-charged economic warfare against Israel." Senators Rob Portman (R-OH) and Ben Cardin (D-MD) have introduced companion legislation in the Senate.
The release notes a 2016 United Nations Human Rights Council resolution which urged member countries to pressure companies to divest from or terminate contracts with Israel and even called for the creation of a “blacklist” of companies doing business with Israeli entities.
