I was taught as a young child that our right to boycott was one of the most fundamental human rights that we should never let be taken from us. Vote with your dollars, they said. Now that is illegal?

>why it is illegal to boycott Israel

It's not. However, your boss can still fire you if you choose to act in political matters that affect the company. Like it's not illegal to grow a beard, but if your company has a no beard policy, you can still be fired. Your article is meaningless.

Hopefully it stays that way

Though, you know they sure are trying:

>Shown Here:

Israel Anti-Boycott Act

>This bill declares that Congress: (1) opposes the United Nations Human Rights Council resolution of March 24, 2016, which urges countries to pressure companies to divest from, or break contracts with, Israel; and (2) encourages full implementation of the United States-Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2014 through enhanced, governmentwide, coordinated U.S.-Israel scientific and technological cooperation in civilian areas.

>The bill amends the Export Administration Act of 1979 to declare that it shall be U.S. policy to oppose:

Learn the difference. Literally any law can be introduced in Congress. Doesn't mean anything will come of it.

Read again my post. No, it is NOT illegal to boycott anything. That doesn't mean you can't be fired for boycotting something. Do you understand the difference between "illegal" and "against company policy"?

That pisses me off and I don't doubt it, but do you have a non Snopes source?

Because they are God's chosen and our greatest ally

Yep.. Technically it is not illegal in US. You may be destroyed by being fired though. SO much for freedom.

However! There are countries - such as France - that may fine you for boycotting Israel. up to 20 000 euros.

Look it up. There actually ARE countries where it is formally illegal. If you think this is not coming to US too you are a fool

Why would you boycott god's chosen people goyim????
