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.

How do you outlaw a boycott? It's not an act, it's a non-act. An absence of a purchase. How do you distinguish boycott from just not buying something you don't want or need like any other item. Are we going to be required to put so much of our purchases toward Isreal now?

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.

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?

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.

Oh you didn't buy a Soda Stream?
Believe it or not, straight to jail!

I'm going to guess that they're trying to make it seem like boycotts are a serious threat. It's a start but not enough.

5 Democrats are cosponsors:

• Josh Gottheimer - NJ-5
• Jared Moskowitz - FLA-23
• Joseph Morrell - NY-25
• Donald Davis - NC-1

Fuck this shit, this is intentionally vague to be used as a cudgel

What goods or services does Israel provide that we're "boycotting "

Sounds kinda DEI to me

How to hack your GDP while ordinary people suffer

1. Private weapons manufacturers make more weapons than should ever be needed.

Why? Your country gained its wealth by becoming the world's largest weapons manufacturer, making it the greatest financial beneficiary of WW2. That manufacturing infrastructure didn't just disappear overnight.

2. Large government subsidies to countries like Israel which aren't actually cash, rather they are purchases of these privately manufactured weapons using taxpayer dollars. These are given to Israel and other countries / entities in the world which perpetuate military conflict in order to keep feeding the machine.

There you have it. Production and consumption which keeps your GDP and GDP per capita growing without providing a meaningful benefit to humanity.

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)

I always thought the Israeli would destroy the US is some fashion

Republicans do this shit because it makes people vote against Democrats

• Far right zionists vote against Democrats because most Democrats will oppose it
• Leftists vote against Democrats because a few of them will support it

Pure win for Republicans.

How is this to enforced. Is there to be a Israeli mandated amount of product that you would need to buy.
