The guy's right, it's going to undermine American public support for Zionism. Even people in the ADL recognized this. I hope the law goes through for that very reason. Protesting for the freedom to boycott plays better amongst Americans than a protest for Palestinian rights and it's free publicity for BDS, the last thing Zionists want.

I think Canada has banned BDS too which is bullshit (but I could be mistaken, they could have just condemned it).  Israel is proably one of the worst actors on the international stage, people should be allowed to protest whatever the fuck they want.

Canada passed a motion in 2016 to formally condemn BDS. Their charter makes it uncontitutional to ban BDS. Formal condemnation is more of an intimidation tactic, like labelling people anti-Semitic.

Banning INDIVIDUALS from joining the retardation that is BDS is a violation of Freedom of Speech.

 

Enacting policies that boycott the boycotters is NOT a violation of Freedom of Speech.

 

If you want to express your hatred for the Jewish people by boycotting Israel then be my guest.  Just please stop bitching when law makers enact policies that make it detrimental for public companies to be brow beaten into going along with this Islamist BDS bullshit.

Maybe it comes down to whether the government:

- is allowed to engage in domestic political activism by boycotting individuals

- or, whether a boycott by the government constitutes an abridgement of 1st ammendment rights (speech & peaceful assembly)

 

Both these are unchartered territories AFAIK. It seems unconstitutional in spirit & undemocratic at best.
