Yeah, and if you want to work with publicly funded money (taxes) you have to sign a paper that says you will not boycott Israel. This goes for teachers, government contractors, etc..
“anti-BDS laws have taken one of two forms: contract-focused laws requiring government contractors to promise that they are not boycotting Israel; and investment-focused laws, mandating public investment funds to avoid entities boycotting Israel.”
This is how it goes around first amendment protections. It’s not banning per se, it’s discouraging companies via government contracts.

Gotta be so chill to be a Israeli lobbyist/politician/law enforcer. Get to receive money from the us by the truck loads, get to pay off our politicians. Then make those politicians pass laws to prevent people from speaking out about those topics. On top of that they’ll conduct smear campaigns and take all your money. Must be awesome.

Good, because 99% of the protesters don’t even know what they’re protesting for, they’re just looking for violence

Such an egregious abuse of the first amendment to protect a nation that’s not even our ally…

Are you allowed to prohibit protests? Especially like this – what ground did they have?

Wait, it’s illegal to boycott Israel in America??

Fyi, it’s not banning boycott, it’s banning boycott by government entities and investments, which is quite different from banning boycott by individuals, which is straight up 1984 stuff

This is a MAP sub. So you should know that Israel is TINY compared to the Arab and Muslim countries. This is why there has been a federal law against participating in the Arab Boycott since 1977.

I’m no expert but prohibiting protests on a specific issue seems unconstitutional. Freedom of speech violation.
[Here’s a Wikipedia link if anyone is interested knowing more](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-BDS_laws#Anti-BDS_laws_in_the_United_States)
Isn’t this against the constitution?

Thank God America is on the right side of history
This will not be staying up for long

Funny how these posts always pop up in the middle of the night in the US. Arabs? Iran? Russia?
People are finally starting to learn that being pro-Palestine is much more than a random foreign policy stance.
It involves views on free speech, excessive police force, campaign finance, international law, foreign influence in our elections, and more.
How does that even work is what I’m confused about
As a jew I say WTF?
