The map in the thumbnail is a fucking lie. It includes Tennessee, my home state, which has no law ordering Tennessee public institutions to divest from entities involved in the BDS movement.

Tennessee was the first state in the US to introduce anti-BDS legislature. It's only a condemnation so far. Pretty hardcore one though with all sorts of lies in it. Wierd that your officials will codify lies for a foreign country in an act that condemns the people of your country. Dontchya think?

so FA is absolutely correct? it was to condemn such behavior, not prohibit it?

The thumbnail is fine. FA's 2nd sentence is correct but not for long...
The video claims "21 states have passed similar laws which ban state funds going to people or businesses who choose to boycott Israel"
This is wrong.
Tennessee are working on making it "ban state funds" in the latest drafts
