First you get people comfortable with defending genocide in another country, then they won't be so resistant when you start doing it in your own country.

Dear lord. Why are Dems getting involved in pushing fascism?
There have always been liberal collaborators to fascism, this isn't new.
they dont care about the fascism aspect, they care that it guarantees them their seats, just like %90 of all the politicians.
Hopefully someone makes a list of brands and companies that you aren't allowed to boycot according to usa republicans and then publishes that list online on a user friendly website. After all, without that information, people might be unknowingly breaking the law when they start a personal boycot.
Genius. Unfortunately, they will most likely target anti-genocide activist, check their phone for any BDS material and charge them with this.
It is not for the masses it is for the vocal once.
Oh you didn't buy a Soda Stream?
Believe it or not, straight to jail!
Gosh I wonder how the democrats will vote on this.
Law is summarized as:
Prohibited actions include (1) refusing to do business with companies organized under the laws of the boycotted country, if the refusal is pursuant to an agreement with or request from the country or IGO imposing the boycott; (2) refusing to employ any U.S. person on the basis of race, religion, sex, or national origin; and (3) furnishing information about whether someone is associated with charitable or fraternal organizations that support the boycotted country.
Can someone explain why Israel is so important to them? Aren’t these the same people who are antisemic? Additionally, how does supporting Israel make the us a Christian nation?
The American economy since WW2 has relied on funding and supplying armed conflict.
No other entity has supplied more justification for that end.
Fuck this shit, this is intentionally vague to be used as a cudgel
Sounds kinda DEI to me
It's DEI for "white" people from europe so it's ok.
This is brilliant, you could have the gestasi inspecting everyone at the checkouts at a supermarket, and if you don't buy a Sodastream cartridge, you get disappeared.
(Sodastream is an Israeli company, and used to manufacture their machines in an industrial park in an Israeli settlement on the West Bank)
How is this to enforced. Is there to be a Israeli mandated amount of product that you would need to buy.
Vague laws can be abused easier.
What goods or services does Israel provide that we're "boycotting "
They dont, they boycotting is aim at company that actively participate in the genocide. Microsoft Cloud and AI services for and other Software and Hardware companies for example. Companies that donate money to them or they have headquarter in illegal occupied land. And many others. The BDS movement for example provide a list of companies highlighted by the United Nations to be performing illegal activities in the west bank.
