Detailed Factual Report
A handful of municipalities are voting on measures pushing for the state to scrap its law penalizing companies that boycott Israel.
On a recent weeknight, a local Jewish federation official met with a small group of Jews in suburban Chicago for an election organizing event.
Leaders of the group preemptively barred journalists, and anyone they deemed could be a journalist, from entry on Zoom.
Chicago Jewish leaders were quietly organizing an effort with big implications: how to convince voters to defend a state law designed to shield Israel from boycotts.
