The states in purple are in violation of international law

The ICJ should issue arrest warrants for their governors. That would be nearly every Governor in this country, but I want to point out some notable ones it would really make me happy to see get arrested for this: Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott, Brian Kemp, Gavin Newsome, Kathy Hochul, Tim Walz, and Andy Beshear.
Oh sorry somehow I didn’t realize the map didn’t say lol, it’s states with Anti-BDS laws
Texas rocks cause if you are in a hinky dink district in rural texas you might have to sign away your conscience to help kids with speech impediments. I fucking loooooove this place.
How did Virginia defy AIPAC when it is ground zero for MIC ghouls?
I’m curious too. I wonder if the weirdo free speech warriors came out against it or something like that?
Just throwing one out there on no basis or research: They all gotta live next to these people and therefore detest whatever they're selling
I’ll be honest I personally appreciate this decision because in the decidedly non-zero chance I one day get fired because of one of those anti-BDS laws it’ll be nice to cite this in court
Is the ICJ able to get rid of any of these? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-BDS_laws

- Residents now seeking Harvey relief face a strange ultimatum: agree not to boycott Israel, or your application for aid will be denied.
and so on
Unfortunately this ruling is non-binding, meaning it can't be enforced, but it lends strong argument when things need to be argued in eg bourgeois courts and governments. And the international law this ruling is based on is binding and enforceable. So the ruling could make it easier to overturn the anti-BDS laws but doesnt automatically do so
