Companies cannot be required to trade with anyone. It is not illegal for any company to not trade with Israel for whatever reason they want.when it comes to Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement (BDS Movement) interfering with free commerce.

What does Abby Martin say @5:00?RE: Boycott Israel
SUBTOPIC: AntiSemetic Activities promoted by BDS
※→ P F tinmore, el at,
PREFACE: Again, you are trying to twist the facts and mislead the Discussion Group by make it appear that they support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement (BDS Movement) which is a foreign lead movement.
(COMMENT)
HR 246 (July 23, 2019) is not a product of a foreign lead entity, whereas the BDS Movement is a product of a foreign lead entity. HR 246 DOES NOT attempt to delegitimize a peoples certain political speech, but rather protect US commerce and allow US Commercial entities to make decisions on their own without a penalty that BDS would employ; by banning business with illegal Israeli settlements, ending military trade and free-trade agreements.
There is no such thing as "apartheid" in Israel. There is no obligation for a company to aid or assist in a fantacy obligation.
NOTE:
"The crime of apartheid" means inhumane acts committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime;
(COMMENT)
And HR 246 does not make that a requirement. HR 246:
◈ Reenforces the " long-standing policy of the United States that a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should come through direct negotiations between the Government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority."◈ Opposes the Global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement (BDS Movement) targeting Israel is a campaign that does not favor a two-state solution and that seeks to exclude the State of Israel and the Israeli people from the economic, cultural, and academic life of the rest of the world.◈ Opposes the position held by the BDS Movement that undermines the possibility for a negotiated solution to the Israeli-Palestinian.◈ HR 246 is in opposition to BDS policy that oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine.◈ HR 246 openly opposes the BDS Movement political position that it does not recognize the right of the Jewish people to national self-determination.
HR 246 does not restrict the rights of Americans in any regard as you imply.
◈ HR 246 promotes American democracy for citizens to petition the United States Government in favor of or against United States foreign policy.◈ HR 246 protects the rights of United States citizens to articulate political views, including with respect to the policies of the United States or foreign governments.
The mere fact that a foreign lead movement is trying to convince the American Public otherwise should tell you something.
Most Respectfully,

It seems that the Israeli embassy’s sponsorship of the Sydney Dance Company, whose choreographer is Israeli, was enough to threaten the “cultural safety” of Palestinian participants in the festival, according to ‘The Belvoir Street Theatre’.Israel is not a racist, apartheid state. Arab citizens living in Israel have the right to vote and there are Arab MKs i.e., members of the parliament or Knesset. Why is it that the only democracy in the Middle East is so maligned? The answer is antisemitism.
The idea that art and culture might function as a bridge to co-existence and cooperation evidently didn’t occur to these artists. Instead they chose to interpret Israeli participation as ‘art-washing’ - using art for political purposes. Apparently the irony and hypocrisy of their statement was lost on them.We will not perform in or attend a Festival where the Israeli regime rainbow-coloured logo is used to artwash the violence, ethnic cleansing, and crimes inflicted upon the Palestinian people.
Facebook post by Joy Karega depicts PM Netanyahu as an ISIS fighter. Thanks in large part to Melissa Landa, Karega was fired from her position at Oberlin. |
(COMMENT)Varda Epstein: How long had you been teaching at U of Maryland, College Park prior to what was, effectively, your dismissal? When did things go wrong?
Melissa Landa: I joined the faculty in 2007, four years after completing my PhD in the same College of Education. I was dismissed 10 years later, in 2017. Things began to deteriorate at the very beginning of 2016.
Would we oppose a Jewish state in any part if the US?◈ HR 246 is in opposition to BDS policy that oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine.
A rather silly attempt at analogy.Would we oppose a Jewish state in any part if the US?
