>New York governor Andrew Cuomo announced an executive order on Sunday that prevents state agencies dealing with companies that support the global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which calls for an economic boycott of Israel because of its policies towards the Palestinians.
>Cuomo signed the executive order ahead of the annual Celebrate Israel Parade in the city. “In New York, we lead by example. We are also a place of action. We want to take immediate action because we want Israel to know that we are on their side. It’s very simple: If you boycott against Israel, New York will boycott you,” he said.
>“We are against the BDS movement in every way. We are against companies that do it. We are against the promotion of it,” Cuomo continued.
>The bill will see the state make a list of organizations and companies that “participate in boycott, divestment, or sanctions [BDS] activity targeting Israel, either directly or through a parent or subsidiary.” New York is the first U.S. state to enact an anti-BDS bill.
>Any company that wishes to be withdrawn from the blacklist will have to prove in writing how they are no longer associated with the BDS movement. The executive order reads: “The State of New York will not permit its own investment activity to further the BDS campaign in any way, shape or form, whether directly or indirectly.”
>The BDS movement advocates applying economic and political pressure on Israel to achieve equal rights for Palestinians and calls for an end to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.
>Other allies of Israel have railed against the campaign too. In February, the British government banned local authorities and public-sector organizations from engaging in a boycott of Israeli suppliers, meaning that they could face fines for violating the ban.
>Cuomo called on other state leaders to follow his decision and condemned the BDS campaign as one that only serves to further the prospect of a peaceful resolution to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
>“This order sends the message that this state will do everything in its power to end this hateful, intolerant campaign. New York and Israel share an unbreakable bond and I pray that the Israeli and Palestinian people will find a way to live side by side and find peace, prosperity and security,” he said.
>Supporters of the boycott said that Cuomo was quashing freedom of speech in New York City. “Shame on Governor Cuomo for using an anti-democratic executive order,” Rebecca Vilkomerson of U.S.-based Jewish Voice for Peace, a left-leaning organization that calls for a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, told the New York Post. “Boycotts have long been a tactic used by social justice movements to bring about urgently needed change.”
This is some Orwellian tier thoughtcrime, I tell you.

Better watch what you say and write and read, because your friendly NSA is handing over all your big brother data to Mossad and IDF, free of charge
Even here in the EUSSR the jewified EU parliament was THAT close to boycotting products from Israel.

So why is it that Israel is so bad, but Hamas is ok? I don't know shit about this conflict but I sniff that Hamas are not well intentioned people

Hamas is absolutely awful--My understanding is that the boycott is designed to address human rights violations in the Gaza strip, which are fairly well documented by Amnesty International and other organizations.

Aaaaand it's vanished from facebook's trending news stories. This is why we're more than a little suspicious.
Zachary Smith
Riddle me this:
I've been to New York and all of the people protesting Israel are a bunch of Liberal Uni faggots with signs and shit. It is actually super fucking annoying and makes me not give a fuck about Israel. Just send them all back to the Middle East with the Muslims. Fuck it. Half those kids were clearly over privileged Jewish hipsters too.
Aaron Ortiz
Gave spics amnesty too. Reagan was the ultimate cuckservative. Keep the economy going so that the average meat puppet thinks that things are going well while a bunch of back room deals go on that set the country up for complete and utter destruction. Reagan was partly responsible for turning Commiefornia into the left-wing Mexico-tier shithole it is today. It used to be a white man's paradise until the amnesty bill fucked our chances for that.

New York,San Francisco,Los Angeles,Chicago,Baltimore are crappy. Most other cities and places here aren't.

But Reagon never lied to his voters, he flat out told them what they were getting themself into
Obongo lied his way into the White House and broke every single promise he had made in his 2008 campaign. "I'll bring back dem jobz, I'll end free trade with China, I'll reign in the Wall Street crooks"
Note the fact that Trump is running the exact same campaign Obongo did in 2008, and the amerigoys are falling for the exact same bullshit YET AGAIN
No stupider people can be found on the entire planet

Our states are bigger than your fucking European "countries" and everyone hates New Yorkers and Commiefornians becuase they're NOTORIOUS for fleeing their communist states after fucking them up and shitting up the good states.
Jose Rogers
They resist and kill Zog. How is that not good? Isn't any enemy of the Jew a friend of yours, even if they're sandnigger?
The representatives of our state have always been in the Jewish lobby back pocket. Especially after 9/11.
On behalf of my state I can only say I'm revolted and apologize for the shitty decisions of the few.

NY here. Nobody outside of the libshit city likes Cuomo, just look at the response to his horseshit SAFE Act.
>Have to register your "assault weapons" >Barely anyone does >All the upstate Sheriff's say they're not going to bother pursuing it(knowing if they do they can kiss their re-election goodbye)
NY wouldn't be so bad if we could get NYC to just be it's own district like DC is.
