A federal appeals court overruled a plea to overturn the state’s anti-Israel boycott legislation Wednesday, a ruling defendants now hope to bring before the Supreme Court.
The 8th Circuit Court ruled against the Arkansas Times’ case that the law, which would require the newspaper to sign a document affirming it would not participate in a boycott of Israel, violated the First Amendment. The court opinion found that the law prohibits “economic decisions that discriminate against Israel” and does not unconstitutionally compel speech regarding Israel.
