Americans for Peace Now cancels its annual summer trip: ’The law is a stain on Israeli
democracy’
Concerned that its delegates might be stopped at Ben Gurion International Airport and denied entry into the country
due to recently enacted legislation, a prominent Jewish-American organization has cancelled its annual summer trip
to Israel.
Americans for Peace Now is the first organization that regularly brings groups to Israel to respond in this way to
the law, passed last month in the Knesset, that would bar from Israel any foreigners who have publicly expressed
support for a boycott of the country, even if that boycott only includes the West Bank settlements.
