(JTA) – Indiana’s state Senate passed a nonbinding resolution opposing boycotts of Israel. Resolution 74, adopted last week, makes Indiana’s legislature the second in the United States to pass a resolution condemning BDS, or the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign. Tennessee passed a similar appeal last month. The Indiana House of Representatives unanimously passed the anti-BDS House Resolution 59 on April 22. The measure now goes to Gov. Mike Pence for his signature.

Last month, the student senate at Earlham College, a Quaker liberal arts institution in Indiana, passed a resolution demanding divestment from U.S. companies that profit from what its authors called Israeli violations of Palestinians’ rights. On April 30, Pence joined business and government leaders in Indiana for a business exchange meeting to discuss opportunities for economic collaboration between Israel and Indiana, an initiative extending from a Pence-led jobs mission to Israel in December. Pence, a pro-Israel leader in Congress before he was elected governor, is considering a presidential run.
