damn commies are anti israel now so that means we need to be pro israel t. Sup Forums

So, erm, how would that look like in a technical sense?
If my business just happens to not deal with Israeli companies n shit, and I don't say "boycott", that's still technically a boycott. The government can't exactly make buy goods and services I don't want. Well, not from private or foreign companies anyway.

Introduced in Senate (03/23/2017)

Israel Anti-Boycott Act

This bill declares that Congress: (1) opposes the United Nations Human Rights Council resolution of March 24, 2016, which urges countries to pressure companies to divest from, or break contracts with, Israel; and (2) encourages full implementation of the United States-Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2014 through enhanced, governmentwide, coordinated U.S.-Israel scientific and technological cooperation in civilian areas.

The bill amends the Export Administration Act of 1979 to declare that it shall be U.S. policy to oppose:

requests by foreign countries to impose restrictive practices or boycotts against other countries friendly to the United States or against U.S. persons; and
restrictive trade practices or boycotts fostered or imposed by an international governmental organization, or requests to impose such practices or boycotts, against Israel.
The bill prohibits U.S. persons engaged in interstate or foreign commerce from:

requesting the imposition of any boycott by a foreign country against a country which is friendly to the United States; or
supporting any boycott fostered or imposed by an international organization, or requesting imposition of any such boycott, against Israel.
The bill amends the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945 to include as a reason for the Export-Import Bank to deny credit applications for the export of goods and services between the United States and foreign countries, opposition to policies and actions that are politically motivated and are intended to penalize or otherwise limit commercial relations specifically with citizens or residents of Israel, entities organized under the laws of Israel, or the Government of Israel.

So, erm, how would that look like in a technical sense?
If my business just happens to not deal with Israeli companies n shit, and I don't say "boycott", that's still technically a boycott. The government can't exactly make buy goods and services I don't want. Well, not from private or foreign companies anyway.

ACLU says that if you say that you're not doing business with Israel because of moral/political reasons, you can be fined. I don't see any proof of that take, but here's their link.

I'm just surprised that the congress thinks that this won't be struck down in five seconds when it gets to the courts. First thing they do bipartisan and its shit all over the first amendment.

...

you forgot chuck schumer, probably because he was the one who penned this turd.
I'm pleasantly surprised that most jewish senators have not come out as supporting this bill.

But did they stepped forward and condemned it?
That's kikes for you, yo.

It's Congress blatantly virtue signalling to their masters.

And until the courts strike down the law - which could take years - it will be illegal for Americans to criticize their owners.

There's absolutely no downside to Congress for proposing this, which is a statement of just how fucked this country has become.

From how the article frames it it seems like nobody even knows what the fuck the bill even says

> Perhaps most stunning is our interview with the primary sponsor of the bill, Democratic Senator Benjamin Cardin, who seemed to have no idea what was in his bill, particularly insisting that it contains no criminal penalties.

Seems like shumer is just trying to pull a fast one. Not today Oi Vey

>particularly insisting that it contains no criminal penalties
The legislative version of "your check is in the mail, goyim."

>legislatives does not give a fuck what they are passing through
Wew, it all goes the same no matter the place.
