The scary part is these kinds of resolutions, while purportedly about supporting Israel, are more likely to lead to an increase in anti-Semitism.

What does the bill say? Are they going to team with up Air Miles to examine your purchase history to figure out if you bought something from Israel and if not you get a visit from the FBI? Obviously if you donât have an Air Miles card they will assume it is to evade prosecution.
I did read the act, but it doesnât really have a plain meaning. Without knowing the case law around the amended act it is very hard for me to tell whether this law is just a showpiece that has essentially no legal effect or whether it makes it a felony to go to Canada; but itâs somewhere in that range.
This might also be some idiotâs stupid idea rather than a real thing thatâs really going to happen.
When people decide to boycott Israel, Iâll admit it gets my antenna up. Iâve had conversations with people that slide seamlessly from human rights violations against Palestinians to dehumanizing Jewish people in general. If this was part of an extremely hard line against anti-semitism and Nazis Iâd be more curious about the details. But to go after Israel boycotts while the chief executive is still on about neo-naziâs being âfine peopleâ just reminds you that American policy is always about money, never about people.

Ugh. Iâve donated to the Guardian under their pay-what-you-want funding model in the past. I guess that gives me the power to write a âNo more donations from me until I see this fixedâ email (not that I was donating enough for them to care, but hopefully Iâll be one-of-many).
Those headlines cited in the story are grotesque.

Yeah, that shit has been scary.
As for the under(virtually nonexistent) reporting, itâs not like almost all of the people who make a living as âjournalistsâ in the U.S. actually deserve that title. Amy Goodman did cover this harassment/intimidation on Democracy Now, of course.
