The Anti-BDS Legislation, formally known as the Prevention of Damage to State of Israel through Boycott Law, 2011, is an Israeli statute enacted in 2011 to combat the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Its primary purpose is to prohibit public bodies, such as government entities and state-funded organizations, from engaging in or supporting boycotts targeting Israel or Israeli settlements in the occupied territories. The law allows individuals and entities harmed by such boycotts to file civil lawsuits for damages without proving actual harm, and it criminalizes calls for boycotts against settlements. It has been criticized internationally for potentially violating freedom of expression and has faced legal challenges within Israel, though it was largely upheld by the High Court of Justice in 2015 with some modifications. The legislation aims to protect Israel's economy and international standing but has sparked debates on civil liberties and has influenced similar anti-boycott laws in other countries.
