New York just put B&J on 90 day notice after which they'll be taken to court on the anti-BDS laws. I cannot fucking wait for this to be properly challenged in court because either way we win. Unless B&J/Unilever chicken out like the capitalist cowards they are.
Well think about it; Scenario A: Anti-BDS gets challenged in court - judge rules the entire concept grade-A "fukken stupid" and it falls apart. Scenario B: Judge upholds anti-BDS laws as legal - this will have huge long-term implications on future laws and I guarantee you this will make very many people extremely angry. It may coalesce into a more focused anti-Israeli movement. This will take longer than scenario A, but I love a good slow burn crisis for empire. Bonus; this will cost Unilever a shitton of money and I love billionaires losing lots of money. Scenario C: Unilever chickens out like the cucked little cowards they are. Anti-BDS stays, Unilever stays, the glorious status quo is upheld. Ironically, this is the worst outcome, but it's more or less where we are now, so fuck it, do or die.
I guarantee you this will make very many people extremely angry.
This specifically is where I'm not optimistic. But I suppose it does depend on how hard they start to push similar laws for other things. If it's just Israel/BDS one-and-done, I think most people would just accept it. Hope I'm wrong.
Unilever could boycott any state that sues them and there'd be breadlines inside a week from the economic collapse. Capitalism seriously hasn't got the will it used to.

How long does it take for these kinds of blatant violations to get to the Supreme Court?

Florida and Texas are threatening Unilever with sanctions too
:lets-fucking-go:
CIA hijacking ice cream shipments and forcing them to land in the west bank
We will melt one pint of ice cream every hour, on the hour, until B&J complies.
The sad part is that NYC withdrawing their pension funds from apartheid South Africa was a tipping point in the 80s anti-apartheid struggle.
I wish I shared your optimism.
