This non-binding resolution condemns BDS, particularly academic boycotts. The resolution falsely links boycotts for justice with rising antisemitism, claiming that such accountability efforts are “legitimizing” antisemitism on college campuses. The resolution was amended to add language also condemning “white nationalist, neo-Nazi, and national socialist groups,” thereby conflating BDS campaigns seeking justice with those that promote hate, persecution, and violence.
