Already a thread about this one.
Yes, if America finally stopped putting everyone else first, it would be free to finally become the richest and most powerful country in the history of civilization. Oh wait....
What does this even mean????
The fact she is a sunni arab and wont agree to not promote her islamist anti Israel was in a publiv school. Should be the real issue. How did she or her parents even get in america? Id bet so much money that her real loyslty isnt to christian or secular american values. If this law was about promoting palestinian stuff or against Israel what is the likiehood she woule oppose it?
Made a thread on this earlier today. Should be merged into this one.
Yeah, not just Texas (although Texas is predictably the most gung-ho about it.
Compulsory allegiance to a foreign nation? There is no rule against boycotting American companies, but boycotting Israeli ones is unacceptable?
Fuck that
I'm American, I'm Jewish, I support Israel, and I support a federal anti-BDS law. Yet I'm very conflicted with regards to a state law that would affect a citizen like Mahawi. It just seems wrong to me.
Not surprisingly, Greenwald totally fucked this up and misrepresented the Texas Law. Par for the course.
It's her business that can't boycott Israel under Texas law. If she doesn't want to buy Sabra hummus, she's more than able to buy that shitty Cedars of Lebanon stuff for her personal use.

Btw, the Volokh Conspiracy is a national treasure.
That link was idiotic. It's using parol evidence to present a narrative contrary to both the text of the law and its active applications. Then they try to feign an inability to understand immutable characteristics, which are the subject of anti-discrimination laws, and policy-based boycotts to try and claim this is somehow hypocrisy from "the left." And it trying to fucking cite Rumsfeld v. FAIR? LOL, you'd think Reason could hire at least one legal consultant to let them know that's fucking moronic.
0/10. Par for the course for Reason, but 0/10.
