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.
Just a reminder that while everyone flips shit about “CCP/Putin influence” these AIPAC mfers subvert our democracy on behalf of a foreign government everyday
Talk about Russian/Chinese influence ops that nobody has ever provided proof for: Reasonable centrist take.
Talk about a large, well funded, publicly known organization that explicitly and openly lobbies for Israel: antisemitic conspiracy theory.
Just say you prefer AMD, don’t have money to buy Soda Stream, a Linux enjoyer, and allergic to humus.
BDS ain’t that hard.
Israel considers BDS an existential threat. I don’t think they even consider Hamas this deadly of a threat. I think it’s because BDS is a peaceful way of opposing Israel, which makes it hard for centrists and liberals to justify opposing.
That’s why they need to smear the movement with claims of systemic antisemitism so it’s easier for the cowards to not support it despite it being literally “voting with your money,” something they so dogmatically believe in instead of picking up arms.
Remember that Black Wall Street was destroyed because the residents were able to prosper despite the systemic discrimination against them - essentially destroyed for ‘peacefully resisting’ the Oppressor. Do everything the way they want, and you still get killed.
BDS is an existential threat because it threatens to popularize the truth that Israel is an apartheid state. Proponents of the occupation will cite the end of apartheid South Africa as a worst case scenario. Hamas is less so for the inverse reason that the violent opposition (as long as it’s manageable violence) provides reason for the occupation to continue
It’s crazy how the US has laws prohibiting the boycott of a foreign country’s products but not domestic products. If people can’t see that Palestinians are the ones with no power and every right to fight back, then I’m feeling hopeless.
Discrimination argument. Proponents argue that boycotts of Israel is a form of discrimination because they target a particular group (Israelis) with the intent of inflicting economic harm on them.
It’s literally how sanctions work lol. Like who do they think will be affected when the US prohibits business with China?
WHAT
THE FUCK
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]
strongly condemn the BDS movement as incompatible with the values of our states and our country
Where’s the lie
For those that haven’t seen it:

Imagine being a Tory P.M. and having the audacity to get in front of parliament and pretend to be outraged at the entirely predictable actions of a country that your own intelligence services founded within the bounds of your own living memory
Like, no, the genocide is fine but calling me a vain , silly muppet with stupid hair is absolutely beyond the pale sir and I will have my satisfaction in this lifetime or the next
