Incremental steps into the police state.

We are in a police state. This is more.

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

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

No other entity has supplied more justification for that end.

How tf do you ban boycotts? What if I just don't want to consoom all the time?

[–] nuko147@lemm.ee 18 points 1 month ago

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.

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

[–] Alaik@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Apparently we import a ton of legislation.

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.

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.
