How tf do you ban boycotts? What if I just don’t want to consoom all the time?
Probably that is a threat for anyone spreading boycott movement in social media. So if you post McDonald are shit, bad for the health and do not consume them, you are ok. If you post don’t go to McDonald because they support a genocide by Israel, then it is another story.
And so the fear begins. Its a first step.
Sorry, we checked your recent bank transactions and you haven’t spent enough money at [Insert Corporation]. Please pay the $100 fine or serve one day at [Insert Corporation] as a free laborer.
Wait you first blame us for not having free speach, because lying about the holocaust is illegal and now you ban boycotting Israel for engaging in a de facto genocide?
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Yeah trump and maga have been wiping their ass with that document for a while. I don’t think it’s a thing anymore
Because republicans care so much about laws they don’t agree with.
Or parts of the religions they thump on about.
And the USSC has definitely ruled that money is equivalent to speech. So boycott activity is logically covered under this Amendment.
If this law passes, a lot of people are going to have a rough year or two until they can get a case all the way to the Supreme Court.
This will go down in flames.
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.
(not to be pedantic)
but it’s both, both boycott Israel companies and products (like hummus illegally farmed in the West Bank. but also companies who participate and engage in Apartheid, like Coca cola that has bottling plants in the west bank as well. or companies that profit from their apartheid, like CAT, or Microsoft/google…
Yeah well they can’t make people buy that shit
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.
Aren’t we exporting that? Like always?
How do you enforce anti boycott, how do you force someone to spend their money?
Dont get me wrong Ill know they will try again, but wow.
If you’re an American paying taxes you can’t boycott Israel. It doesn’t even need to be a law.
Seems like they’re trying to turn boycott in to a dirty word.
Yes yes I know where my tax dollars go, thank you. Well, ok actually not entirely, but yes to fund the irl fucking evil empire.
But boycotts make me think of private citzens not buying a product, or from a store or provider, etc.
The courts won’t enforce this right, because of freedom of speech, right?
Freedom of what? Sounds like something communist to me /s
Freedom of what?
😆 I dunno why I thought this was so funny lmao.
My brain immediately saw the meme of the the blond woman “inquiring intensifies” Edit: Like this!
It’s already law in a huge chunk of land controlled by the regime.

Republicans do this shit because it makes people vote against Democrats
- Far right zionists vote against Democrats because most Democrats will oppose it
- Leftists vote against Democrats because a few of them will support it
Pure win for Republicans.
Is that legal? It doesn’t sound legal. I’m sure they could make it illegal for US government agencies to boycott Israel because that’s at least partially a foreign policy decision, but private businesses? What are they gonna do, force you to buy Israeli goods?
narrator: it didn’t sound legal because it wasn’t.
Lets wait and see what percentage of democrats will vote yes
Well, we now know what death cult is behind the misery of literally the entire world.
Irony: Nazis are teaching the rest of us who hate Nazis how to hate the Jews
Screaming Nazi at everyone who calls you out, won’t work forever. You are DONE.
Sounds kinda DEI to me
It’s DEI for “white” people from europe so it’s ok.
How do you outlaw a boycott? It’s not an act, it’s a non-act. An absence of a purchase. How do you distinguish boycott from just not buying something you don’t want or need like any other item. Are we going to be required to put so much of our purchases toward Isreal now?
the state wants to lock you up, figures out you don’t drink coca cola, You’re on trial for not buying Coca-Cola, or Nestle, or never tried Sabras hummus… straight to jail.
Twitter sued advertisers who said they were boycotting it, and it worked somehow…
Ding ding ding.
This is how they “lawfully” throw “dissidents” into the gulag.
Remember…most of what Hitler did was technically legal and above-board. Because they controlled the laws and shaped them as they saw fit.
Not just show your papers, show your recent Israel approved consumer good purchases!
Wrong think will be punished
You outlaw a boycott by using violence against those who promote the boycott. It’s not even anything new. Many states have already been doing this. Not to mention recent disappearances of anti-genocide activists.
Violence in service of hegemony is almost the entire purpose of the state.
In other words, yes, precisely, they’re trying to sus out heretics. Don’t want to be mistaken for one? Perform the rites publicly, then.
boycott
probably using to target groups that are protesting against israel.
Oh you didn’t buy a Soda Stream?
Believe it or not, straight to jail!Don’t worry guys, this will surely create blowback next election and a liberal can be back in charge
No no. The “liberal” won’t be liberal enough. Gotta wait for the right type of liberal before we vote against Nazi.
/sarcasm
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.
It really is too early to be gritting my teeth man.
Maybe if they’re alpha and lose their woke reputation they won’t need those crazies who are demanding them to do something ‘meaningful’
