The parliament of Spain's Balearic Islands has passed a bill condemning anti-Semitism, as defined by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, and the anti-Israel BDS movement.

The Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement has called for boycotts against Israeli businesses, universities, and cultural institutions in what it says is a nonviolent campaign against alleged Israeli abuses against Palestinians. Israel says the movement masks its motives to delegitimize or destroy the Jewish state.

The IHRA definition says, "Anti-Semitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities."

The legislation, approved by all major parties on June 6, pertains to Ibiza, Majorca, Palma, and other areas.

Jewish and pro-Israel groups applauded the legislation.

Ignacio Wenley Palacios, the Lawfare Project's senior counsel in Spain, said "boycotts by public institutions have all the attributes of the most intolerable discrimination. They deny relations and the provision of public services to individuals not because of their behavior, but because of something they cannot change nor avoid: their country of origin."

"Identifying and defining antisemitism are critical steps in eradicating it. Thank you," tweeted the World Jewish Congress
