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.

So it seems like if you decide not to buy a shirt made in Israel because the EU suggests a boycott, you go to jail and/or get fined. Clear violation of the 1st ammendment.

Isn't there already an anti boycott law on the books?

Don't worry guys, this will surely create blowback next election and a liberal can be back in charge

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 0 points 3 months ago

No no. The "liberal" won't be liberal enough. Gotta wait for the right type of liberal before we vote against Nazi.

Gotta wait for another nazi who's liberal enough.

Do y'all want genocide? Or do you want liberal genocide? Remember, if you don't vote for genocide, then the genocide is your fault.

What goods or services does Israel provide that we're "boycotting "

Apparently we import a ton of legislation.

And also, apparently, Signal forks with security backdoors put in by former Israeli intelligence officers.

Surveillance, military weaponry against civilians, racism, etc.

Also phony "israeli" hummus.

The courts won't enforce this right, because of freedom of speech, right?

It's already law in a huge chunk of land controlled by the regime.

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?

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

The American economy since WW2 has relied on funding and supplying armed conflict.

No other entity has supplied more justification for that end.
