A pro-Israel group fighting the BDS (Boycott,Divestment, Sanctions) movement in Spain has booked a new success after a court freezed a resolution against Israel by the City Council of Santa Eulalia on the island of Ibiza.

The City Coucil endorsed a boycott campaign against Israel in July after condemning an alleged pattern of ‘’war crimes and crimes against humanity carried by the Israel Defense Forces’’.

The endorsement committed the city to support the BDS campaign, the boycott against Israeli and pro-Israel institutions, companies and organizations, as well as Spanish nationals associated or sympathetic to the Jewish state.

However, according to pro-Isral group ACOM, which in recent years has secured more than 20 rulings against boycott initiatives,t he Court Number One of Palma de Mallorca freezed he decision to boycott Israel passed by Santa Eulalia, the second largest city in Ibiza.

According to ACOM, the court concluded that the boycott decision “even if not executed in practice, sets limits to the rights of individuals and companies that trade with Israel to have relations with the City Council on equal terms.

The court stated that these limits are “in breach of the rights to non-discrimination and equality before the law.”

Angel Mas, president of ACOM said that “by now, the Spanish courts have clearly associated the adherence to the BDS campaign by public institutions in Spain with illegal behaviors breaching our constitutional coexistence.”
