Voters in eight Illinois communities approved nonbinding measures opposing the state's anti-BDS law, which bars investments in companies boycotting Israel. Despite objections from local Jewish organizations, the pro-Palestinian groups celebrated the results as a sign of changing public opinion. The measures have no impact on state policy, but reflect a growing debate around the BDS movement and its implications. Separately, a binding referendum in Providence, Rhode Island, also passed, with language that is expected to target Israel.
