Texas House Approves Bill Blocking State Investment In Anti-Israel Businesses
[Daily Caller] The Texas House of Representatives unanimously passed a measure Thursday prohibiting state-run operations to invest in anti-Israel businesses, according to a report from Forward.Its approval follows the passage of a similar bill that was overwhelmingly approved by the state Senate last month. Gov. Greg Abbott is expected to sign a bill that combines policies from both bills. Pro-Israel groups are commending Texas politicians for their efforts to pass the measure. "The relationship between the Jewish state and the Lone Star State is built upon shared values, including a rock-solid commitment to standing up for liberty -- especially when it is threatened by radical Islamic extremism," Pastor John Hagee, the founder of Christians United For Israel, said in a statement.
