The union representing Legal Aid lawyers approved a controversial anti-Israel resolution Tuesday that calls for an economic boycott of the “apartheid” Jewish State and immediate cease-fire in Gaza — which critics condemned as pro-Hamas and antisemitic.
The resolution from the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys/Local 2325 of United Auto Workers passed with 1067 votes to 570 opposed.
It passed despite the move defying the policy of its employer — the Legal Aid Society — of steering clear of taking stands on international political conflicts.
