Cancellation of BDS events in Italy

Various events advocating for commercial discrimination against Israelis have taken place in Italy.  The Lawfare Project has worked to shut down a number of anti-Israel and pro-BDS events around the country, including an event at an Italian university that had agreed to host a screening of the propaganda film, Israel: The Cancer. We have also worked with Italian counsel to shut down BDS events in secondary schools by providing information to public institutions informing them that BDS is contrary to academic, municipal, and Italian law.
