By a unanimous vote, the Wisconsin State Legislature here has memorialized the United States Department of State to “discourage and nullify” the Arab League boycott against American Jews and against American firms controlled or managed by Jews.
By the adoption of this resolution, Wisconsin became the sixth State in the Union to memorialize the State Department on the Arab League’s anti-Israel and anti-Jewish boycott. Similar resolutions have been adopted by the legislatures of New York, California, Missouri, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The joint resolution memorializes the State Department, on behalf of Wisconsin, to “take steps to discourage and nullify the effects of trade restrictions, blockades and boycotts by the nations comprising the Arab League against American citizens of the Jewish faith and against American companies controlled or managed by such citizens.”
