And I can’t even imagine it’s an intentional addition, it’s just become part of boiler plate legal documents here in the deep south.

    It’s crazy how the US has laws prohibiting the boycott of a foreign country’s products but not domestic products. If people can’t see that Palestinians are the ones with no power and every right to fight back, then I’m feeling hopeless.

    Discrimination argument. Proponents argue that boycotts of Israel is a form of discrimination because they target a particular group (Israelis) with the intent of inflicting economic harm on them.

    It’s literally how sanctions work lol. Like who do they think will be affected when the US prohibits business with China?

      I'm convinced people, for the most part, really don't understand the situation. When laid bare, it's clear that Palestinians have every right to self defense in this situation. The strike was self defense. They have a right to rebel against their oppressors
