House passes bill to restrict university boycotts of Israel
Lead
The bill, backed by AIPAC but opposed by J Street and Democratic leaders, treats a total boycott of Israel like a boycott of West Bank companies. House Democratic Leader Jeffries: the bill would allow Trump to 'launch political attacks on our colleges and universities'

Anti-BDS Legislation
Restricting university boycotts of Israel aligns with a typical RIGHT-WING policy stance opposing the BDS movement (Rule 3). | The text quotes Democratic Leader Jeffries (LEFT-WING) criticizing a pro-boycott-ban bill and warning against political attacks on universities by Trump. Applying Rule 3, expressing a typical LEFT-WING position results in a LEFT-WING classification.
