Dems pushing for bill criminalizing boycotts of Israel.

in #informationwar6 years ago

I can't even believe that this is the country I was born in. Whether you support the modern nation-state of Israel's expansionist policies or not, there is ZERO justification under the U.S. Constitution for free speech to be censored just because it upsets a FOREIGN power (or the ruling party of a foreign power.)

Check out this article:

https://www.blacklistednews.com/article/69786/congress-is-trying-to-use-the-spending-bill-to-criminalize-boycotts-of-israel-and-other.html

Even the ACLU, which makes Constitutional exceptions all the time, based on their liberal-left ideologies, is opposed to this bill. No one would be forcing anyone to participate in a boycott, of course, so there can be no claim of coercion. Besides, where are these corporations that are falling all over themselves to organize a boycott of Israel?

I can not imagine a nationless multi-national greed-and-leftist-agenda-pushing formerly-"American" corporation organizing such a boycott anyway.

What, exactly, are Demonrats hoping to achieve with this??

It just makes zero sense.

LONG LIVE THE FIRST AMENDMENT!! (...or at least until January, when these cretins take over the House.)

I don't really like israel, and unfortunately it will be the downfall of the US in the end. Such a shame.

I like Israel no more nor less than any other nation. What I despise is small interest groups dictating policy in D.C. that overwhelming push globalism and anti-Americanism.
