The Bluegrass State has now become the 26th U.S state to join in the fight against the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Denouncing BDS as anti-Semitic and “repugnant,” Kentucky governor Matt Bevin signed an executive order last week barring state contracts with companies that support a boycott of the State of Israel.
Surrounded by rabbis, Gov. Bevin signed the measure at a ceremony at the state capitol, with Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer and Consul General of Israel to the Southeastern United States Judith Varnai Shorer in attendance.
