The campaign to punish boycotts of Israel in the US took a massive blow, after a Texas judge ruled against the state's Anti-BDS act.

Thursday’s verdict means all similar clauses in state contracts are void and that Amawi will be allowed to resume her work at a local school.

In the US, Israel’s primary ally and financier, politicians from both major parties have sought to prohibit BDS despite clearLegislatures in 25 US states have passed laws sanctioning those who take part in BDS by not allowing them to access government contracts. The measures can apply to state employees, such as law enforcement officers, teachers, and public health officials, among others.

This is now the third federal court to block an anti-BDS law as unconstitutional. We won't stop defending the right to boycott., Palestine Legal attorney Radhika Sainath, said: "The Constitution is the highest law of the land here , which means it's the final word on the matter so what you're really seeing here is an attempt to take away the fundamental right of Americans to protest a policy that they feel violates human rights abuses by engaging in their right to boycott.

“We’re gearing up for the fights in the other 26 states where anti-BDS laws have been passed and we are certain that we are on the right side of the constitution and history,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad.
