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.
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?
Not just show your papers, show your recent Israel approved consumer good purchases!
Wrong think will be punished

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!
Don't worry guys, this will surely create blowback next election and a liberal can be back in charge
No no. The "liberal" won't be liberal enough. Gotta wait for the right type of liberal before we vote against Nazi.
/sarcasm
It really is too early to be gritting my teeth man.
Maybe if they're alpha and lose their woke reputation they won't need those crazies who are demanding them to do something 'meaningful'

Fuck this shit, this is intentionally vague to be used as a cudgel
How to hack your GDP while ordinary people suffer
- 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.
- 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.
Lets wait and see what percentage of democrats will vote yes
The courts won't enforce this right, because of freedom of speech, right?
Freedom of what? Sounds like something communist to me /s
Freedom of what?
😆 I dunno why I thought this was so funny lmao.
My brain immediately saw the meme of the the blond woman "inquiring intensifies" Edit: Like this!

How will they enforce it? Does the government send out Israeli products by mail to Americans and then arrest whomever refuses to pay for the products they didn't ask for? Ordering people to buy specific products can't be even remotely legal. Buy Tesla cars or go to jail, is what this amounts to.
Here is the bill (it's like two pages)
I'm not a lawyer so I could be reading this wrong but this law doesn't apply directly to citizens, per se.
The law that it modifies basically makes it illegal for a company to contractually require you to boycott another company that you disagree with, but one that is allied toward the US.
For example, imagine you're the CEO of ACME and you want to do business with Aperture Science, Inc. Aperture can't, as a condition of you doing business with them, restrict you from working with Israeli companies.
That all being said, I do not trust this administration will use the law for it's intended purpose and will instead use it as a club to beat people with.

This is a cudgel to use against leftist activists when they are identified through social media skimming and illegal surveillance. The charge of antisemitic activity will be constructed parallel to their desire to brutalize them.
And they all get a stack of AIPAC cash to implement this too.
I guess raising awareness of products origin and why one should boycott becomes the issue.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/867/all-info
Are they considered Isreali products🤔
Yes. You will be required by law to purchase Josh Gottheimer.
Dear lord. Why are Dems getting involved in pushing fascism?
Wer hat uns verraten…? Sozialdemokraten…
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.
When Israel started full scale genocide in Gaza, Biden started giving them more money for weapons. Genocide and fascism are the Democratic party platform now.
The American government platform. Don't try to single out the Dems for this.
I think it's common knowledge, at this point, that the GOP has been fascist for at least 50 years. Not singling out, pointing out for those still clinging to the idea Dems are on our side.

How is this to enforced. Is there to be a Israeli mandated amount of product that you would need to buy.
You will be expected to wear your Israeli pager at all times
"Please drink a verification can"
Omg!! This is how we get there, isnt it?! 😳
Vague laws can be abused easier.

Well, if that isn't freedom of speech, I don't know what is. So much freedom, it oozes oil.
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)
Sodastream is an Israeli company
I didn't know that. Good thing I've been boycotting their cylinders for years.
Well fuck, I just got one, I just assumed they were a german company since they're so popular there
Get a nice bar-sized cylinder of CO2 (sometimes called beer gas) and a 15 dollar adapter. Get you that (nearly) guilt-free bubbly water by never sending them a cent for gas!
aarke
I got an Aarke instead because I liked the design, so now I just need to replace my current sodastream cartridge with an offbrand one...
