To give a sense of how integrated the Israeli lobby is into US law and society, two of my friends have an anti-BDS clause baked into their lease. They could legally be evicted for boycotting Israel
And I can’t even imagine it’s an intentional addition, it’s just become part of boiler plate legal documents here in the deep south.
In 2017, the governors of all fifty U.S. states signed a statement describing their opposition to the BDS movement, stating that the BDS movement’s “focus on the Jewish State raises serious questions about its motivations and intentions” and that the governors “strongly condemn the BDS movement as incompatible with the values of our states and our country.”[14]
Not doing anything to make fascist ideas of a Jewish conspiracy less believable. Although maybe that's the point. Support fascist israel and at the same time make it so american nazis are eating good with their propaganda fodder.
Yeah... and we never even got to the point of seriously demanding sanctions lol, the boycott part was rolling along, and a few institutions were being pressured to divest, but the anti-BDS reaction was pretty strong and swift
just to clarify, at least in Ohio the anti-BDS law means state agencies can't use contracted services from anti-BDS companies. which is still bullshit, but it doesnt stop private citizens from doing stuff.
