The
Boycott Bill, stipulates that anyone calling for an economic, cultural or
academic boycott against the Jewish
communities in Judea and Samaria will be unable to participate in government
tenders. In addition, any person who considers himself a victim of a boycott could sue the boycotter for compensation.
Court gives state 60 days to explain Boycott Law. Z Street is wondering
what all the fuss is with Israel's new anti-BDS law:
An interesting precedent is in Germany dealing with Holocaust deniers without physical boundaries. The lawyer Eugene Volks sees this as a threat to Democracy. The delegitimizers, i.e. the BDS practitioners and their enablers (NIF, J Street, Peace Now) immediately attacked it as a gross violation of free speech... ...Many central to further right-leaning pro-Israel organizations are also expressing criticism... Also recently the United States declared that effected markets has no boundaries to prove cause of information crimes. The law does NOT criminalize speech and it does NOT restrict free speech. BDS practitioners can continue to say whatever vile things they want about Israel, but they simply are not eligible for government contracts if they do. Well goodness, isn't that what they want? NOT to engage in financial transactions with the "evil ZioNazi government"? image via Israeli BDS Activists Call on Artists to Boycott Music Festival h/t Daled Amos
