House Bill Would Cut Funding to Backers of Israeli Boycotts

[Phoenall]

You don't get it do you, the law is there to force you to change the way people think and act. Now if your childs school is one that supports the BDS and gets its funding stopped it means that your childs education suffers and you have to pay more for their education. So you start asking questions about the reasons behind the school no longer giving value for money and getting the answers you don't like. So you take part in a Parents meeting and demand the resignation of the person responsible for the cut in funding. The funding is re-instated and the offender is reduced to flipping burgers at mac king burger joint

No, it is you who "don't get it".

The USA forces Americans to abide by an immoral and useless embargo of Iran and Cuba. Now Congress wants to force Americans to NOT abide by a boycott of Israeli settlements. The hypocrisy couldn't be greater.

If this travesty passes the Supreme Court will surely overturn it and it will be a great day in the USA. But Israelophiles will be sad.

Since control of our Representatives seems to be on your mind...
Please explain why the Arab Oil Sheiks, with all of their money, aren't out-bribing all the Jew Lovers you claim are bribing our Representatives.

Cos the Saudi's want Israel in a position of power to act as a buffer zone between them and the islamists.

 

[Phoenall]

You still have your free speech, just not the freedom to engage in criminal racism. What would you do if Israel decided to no longer buy American goods and products or sell it medical supplies because some half wits decided it was apartheid in the way it dealt with Mexican drug runners. You cant have it both ways, you cant make a whole nation suffer because of what happens outside that nation.

To do so makes you personally a two faced hypocrite because that is one of the charges you have laid against America. AND THERE IS NO BUT.............

Israel commits ethnic cleansing of almost a million Arabs, installs an Apartheid-like regime in the West Bank, violates international laws in a racist manner with impunity, and you accuse me of racism? This is why folks hate Israel.

Still spouting you ISLAMONAZI LIES of ethnic cleansing when the truth is the population of Palestine has exploded and is now close to 5 million. So were is the ethnic cleansing when the population is increasing at such a high level. More so when the Jewish population of Palestine in 1948 was 650,000 and by 1949 was zero. That is true ethnic cleansing.

Do you want the relevant parts of the Geneva conventions again that show you to be a TWO FACED HYPOCRITICAL NAZI ANTI SEMITIC JEW HATING LIAR who manipulates and twists the words till they match your racist POV.

If that was the case yes. The people trying to BOYCOTT and BAN academicians and universities from their freedom of speech and an open exchange of information and research are the BDS, using Nazi like bullying tactics funded by Hamas and other foreign terroristic elements.

The Supreme Court is merely reflecting the overwhelming public support for Israel, including both Houses of Congress to not succumb to these fascistic tactics. If somebody wants to voice their opinion on a boycott of Israel, that's fine, BUT NOT WITH US GOVT. MONEY.

Why shouldn't a school be able to express their political views with tax-payer dollars?

Do you also have an objection to schools boycotting Iranian or North Korean academics?

Should schools not have the right to divest their funds from North Korean or Iranian interests?

A school should be able to ban academicians from other schools and free exchange of valuable information and research? Yeah, why not, let a school take a political stance, when it is forbidden by any organization receiving govt. funding to do so?

Maybe if you're living in Iran or Syria this fascistic shit is acceptable, but not in the USA, AND NOT WITH GOVT MONEY. Especially when the people are totally against it.

Supporting Israel is a political stance and the hypocrites are fine with that.

The U.S supporting Israel ??

 

[P F Tinmore]

The boycott asks for a ban of all Israeli professors and any exchange of information thereof from Israeli universities. Are you acting dumb again?

Not true.

Actually very true. That's why most universities have taken a stand to ban BDS associations on their own. Would you like to see what their presidents have written. Or do you think you know better?

They have been lied to.

They are opposed to BDS for reasons that are not true.

Somebody fed them a line.

 

[Roudy]

Maybe you have a problem understanding how our legal system works. When there is an embargo, that means not only universities, but EVERY PERSON RESIDING IN THE USA can be criminally prosecuted if found guilty of selling anything to the country in question, even if indirectly.

So Congress, which is funded by campaign donations, gets to decide who we can and cannot boycott? That's dumb. So much for Free Speech.

Congress makes laws forbidding trade and support to rogue regimes and enemy states.

When in hole stop digging.

The Cuban embargo is only to please Florida Cubans.

Cuba is no threat to the USA, the Caribean, the Western Hemisphere, or the world.

I hope you don't support this very stupid embargo.

If Congress can order all Americans to boycott Cuba, that means that money is speech and is protected by the 1st Amendment. Congress has no right to demand we be hypocrites.

They are opposed to BDS because BDS wants Israeli academicians to be banned from US campuses, as well as any cooperation between US and Israeli universities and professors. And all the university professors have alluded to this in their letters.

You are the one lying.

The Cuban embargo has been in place for decades. We are not discussing the merits of it. If you're caught trying to sell to or import Cuban goods you will be prosecuted to the full extent and made an example of.

You didn't answer my question.

Basically what you're doing, is making this up, as you tend to do often.

Every time someone opposes the Palestinians or BDS, you claim their is some sort of conspiracy behind it.

Could it be that maybe they oppose BDS because they oppose boycotting Israel??

 

[Victory67]

So according to you, its ok to boycott Cuba due to their Communist government but its not ok to boycott the Israeli settlements due to their land theft and racism?

Sorry but I don't accept this hypocrisy.

Show me any BDS source that says that.

You and I know that.
I enjoy the ranting of Jew haters who never think about why Arabs don't care about Arabs.

and if universities oppose sanctions of Iran or north korea and use funds for promoting opposition groups...they should continue to get government funds?
Factories and farms are built in the WB that hire palestiians and promote palestinians economic growth and this is considered a bad thing? Why are not more arabs and palestinians trying to do the same thing? Why with all the money from both east and west is the PA/G still bankrupt governments fully dependent on world charity?
Palestinians get so hung up over a few olive trees or grape vines that provide for a few dozen at best that they can't think of providing jobs that provide for thousands of families at a time.

If boycotting Cuba, Iran, and North Korea is ok than so should boycotting Israeli settlements.

Otherwise we are a nation of hypocrites.

Ummm...Arabs want into Israel. Israeli Arabs have a better life there. Even in the so-called "westbank" How many people are knocking down the doors to get into those countries?

The West Bank has a much higher unemployment rate than all its Arab neighbors.
