Are you sure? Aren't there already anti bds laws in most states?

You have people like me, who think Israel has gone too far in Gaza, but also don’t love the widespread protests. So basically, not a strong opinion either way. But if you start arresting Americans citizens exercising 1A rights— or for choosing how to spend their own money— I’m going to be pissed. Just because I’m not a fan of the NON-VIOLENT protests (before you say it— different from taking over buildings, violence, creating hazards, etc) does not mean I think the protestors should be arrested. And I should be able to spend the money I earn however I GD please. This makes me much less likely to buy an Israeli product. Because I don’t like being told I must financially support Israel in my discretionary spending, on top of all the money we pour into a first world, wealthy nation that can support itself.

Yeah, and your “customer avatar” is 50%+ of the U.S. population. There’s also an additional 15 - 20% of the population that doesn’t give AF about the thought police and had deeply-layered distrust of Israel BEFORE the events of the past 18 months made clear the corruption beneath Israel’s chokehold on U.S. foreign policy.

When the vast majority of the international community and a strong plurality of the U.S. population all harbor negative feelings about something … well, do the math.

Forget 1 gorilla vs. 100 men.

Consider 10 million of the worldwide Jewish population (I’ll estimate 1/2 of the 20M total are extremist Zionists), along with 100M evangelicals, born again weirdos, assorted racists, and brainwashed drones in the U.S. and maybe 50M similar racists and brainwashed drones worldwide … vs. the 8.0B making up the rest of the world, at least 1/4 of whom are actively engaged on some level in global affairs.

160M vs. 2,000M … my money is on the latter having more than their say eventually.

So does this mean y’all can finally stop accusing Trump of being a Jew-hating-nazi?

Because it’s pretty clear at this point he’s got a soft spot for The Jewish State of Israel.

It's in the link above H.R. 867, the “IGO Anti-Boycott Act,”

Bills like this are not good. They lead to more anti semitism not less

This is stupid.

It's already law, passed under Trump 1.0. The vote is for amendments to add "or international government organization" after "foreign country." 50 USC CHAPTER 58, SUBCHAPTER II: ANTI-BOYCOTT ACT OF 2018

[Anonymous]

This law is a regulatory burden for US companies doing business overseas. Any time someone asks them anything boycott-related they are required to report it to the govt and they get fined if they don't.

Maybe that's as intended. By manufacturing more anti-semitism, laws such as these can be enacted to suppress anti-israel speech and pro Palestinian rhetoric. Ironically no one benefits more from anti-Semitism than Zionists.
