American Senate’s first Bill in 2019 aims to defend Israel

[Kailash Kumar]

It appears she is upset she cannot use her government job to further the BDS movement.

I do think that she was doing that.
I was more a question of not giving in and standing her ground.

I think the ACLU's position is that the federal law applies not just to companies' contracted work with the government (as in the Texas law) but every business transaction.

But that is just what I am trying to say.
It applies to all transactions whether they are government or not.
And the federal law / Constitution overrules the State law of Texas, right?
So, therefore the federal law should be applied in the case of transanctions made by the government of Texas.

I'm sure there are people who have responded to the BDS movement by increasing their purchases of goods and services from Israel and this Texas law is explicitly in response to BDS pressures.

Of course, they are known as Evangelicals.

"Standing her ground" on what, exactly?

The State of Texas is making rules for its own contracts; according the the ACLU the federal government is making rules not just for its own but for the contracts of others.

That's a pretty substantial difference. When I order a personalized birthday cake for somebody I can tell the bakery to reject designs I don't like; it's not like I'm telling them to reject designs of cakes meant for other customers.

"Standing her ground" on what, exactly?

On being free to boycott Israel and being free to support boycott movements like BDS whether private or professionally.

Her right to a private boycott is not challenged by the Texas law. Her right to do so under as a contractor to the State of Texas is - just as I can specify the kind of cake decoration I want. If the baker doesn't like what I specify, he shouldn't have to take my order, and if I don't like what the baker whips up, I shouldn't have to pay for it.

America is owned by Zionists. There is no doubt about that. Zionist Hollywood producers misuse American actresses like garbage and no one bats an eye lid. That is how deeply entrenched the Zionists have become.

what is your problem ?

But why does the State of Texas need to have anti-BDS legislation?
As long as the movement is non-violent, there should not be a problem.

No, a Texas woman did NOT lose her job for refusing to sign “pro-Israel pledge”
BY ADAM LEVICK ON DECEMBER 19, 2018 •

...as Constitutional Law Professor David Bernstein explains, the law’s requirement can be more accurately described as an anti-discrimination clause – similar, on constitutional grounds, to laws “requiring a contractor to pledge that the business does not refuse to hire Muslims, or Jews, or blacks”, etc. Further, contrary to the Indy’s claim, there’s nothing in the law – which is similar to anti-BDS laws in many other states – which prohibits individuals like Ms. Amawai from boycotting Israel in her personal capacity. It only applies to her business -

It's only anti-discrimination if it support ban on boycotting any one , not if it's just support boycotting Israel. in fact the low is embodiment of discrimination .
also no matter what ,it's against freedom of choice.

The pledge in question requires her - in her professional, not personal, capacity - to refrain from "taking any action intended to penalize, inflict harm on, or limit commercial relations specifically with Israel, or with a person or entity doing business in Israel or Israel-controlled territory."

Ms. Amawai, an Arabic-language speech pathologist, didn't provide a specific example of how she could boycott Israel professionally. She cited "moral issues", says "political speech is of great national and international importance", and claims she "will be chilled in her personal capacity to advocate for Palestinian rights, and unable to provide speech pathology services for children -".

then can you explain to me how they used the law to withhold help from people who were in need of disaster relief after hurricane ?
