This will be an interesting one to watch - whether a state law banning business with anyone advocating a boycott of Israel violates 1st Amendment rights.

while I do not agree with any government restricting anyones rights - I will call out some deliberate manipulation tactics of this article. First - it leaves out that Hamas fired 100+ rockets at israel first, making them the aggressor. Second, it is not through lack of effort that Hamas only killed a dozen Israeli's - they fired over 4000 fucking rockets at Israeli civilians, and only through Israels defensive systems, that also protected Israeli Arabs, that the cost in lives was reduced. Third, the article fails to mention that many of the launch sites, were in highly populated areas of the Gaza strip with the intent to weaponize civilians, both as a shield, and a weapon, against Israel. and Last, many of the places Israel targeted were given warning, up to an hour in advance, in order to lessen the civilian casualties. The blood of the Palestinean Civilians is absolutely upon the hands of Hamas.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro No, it does not. Possibly because the case deals with an individual’s right under the 1st Amendment, possibly because the Supreme Court rejected Texas v. California that attempted to overturn the California law. No idea which.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro There’s a few more rights imbedded in the 1st Amendment, but okay.
You’ve managed to bring us back to “This will be an interesting one to watch”, since that’s the basis of the court case.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - it isn't anti-semitic, i realize that. however, would a company who supports israel be treated the same as one who doesn't support them?
