How will they enforce it? Does the government send out Israeli products by mail to Americans and then arrest whomever refuses to pay for the products they didn't ask for? Ordering people to buy specific products can't be even remotely legal. Buy Tesla cars or go to jail, is what this amounts to.
This is a cudgel to use against leftist activists when they are identified through social media skimming and illegal surveillance. The charge of antisemitic activity will be constructed parallel to their desire to brutalize them.
And they all get a stack of AIPAC cash to implement this too.
Can someone explain why Israel is so important to them? Aren’t these the same people who are antisemic? Additionally, how does supporting Israel make the us a Christian nation?
The problem is that Hebrew Scriptures rejects the idea that Biblical Israel is in Israel state. Also 2nd Temple was not ruined according to Book of Daniel. But for so called 'Christian Church' it does not matter. Have you ever seen any christian pastor who try to read Hebrew Scriptures, analyze it or teach ancient Hebrew 'his sheep'? They rely on your ignorance.
The American economy since WW2 has relied on funding and supplying armed conflict.
No other entity has supplied more justification for that end.
Gosh I wonder how the democrats will vote on this.
How to hack your GDP while ordinary people suffer
Why? Your country gained its wealth by becoming the world's largest weapons manufacturer, making it the greatest financial beneficiary of WW2. That manufacturing infrastructure didn't just disappear overnight.
There you have it. Production and consumption which keeps your GDP and GDP per capita growing without providing a meaningful benefit to humanity.
Law is summarized as:
Prohibited actions include (1) refusing to do business with companies organized under the laws of the boycotted country, if the refusal is pursuant to an agreement with or request from the country or IGO imposing the boycott; (2) refusing to employ any U.S. person on the basis of race, religion, sex, or national origin; and (3) furnishing information about whether someone is associated with charitable or fraternal organizations that support the boycotted country.
Well, if that isn't freedom of speech, I don't know what is. So much freedom, it oozes oil.
The courts won't enforce this right, because of freedom of speech, right?
What goods or services does Israel provide that we're "boycotting "
They dont, they boycotting is aim at company that actively participate in the genocide. Microsoft Cloud and AI services for and other Software and Hardware companies for example. Companies that donate money to them or they have headquarter in illegal occupied land. And many others. The BDS movement for example provide a list of companies highlighted by the United Nations to be performing illegal activities in the west bank.
I'm going to guess that they're trying to make it seem like boycotts are a serious threat. It's a start but not enough.
I always thought the Israeli would destroy the US is some fashion
