"A bill that would criminalise boycotts against Israel has been signed by 45 US senators and 237 congressman. The so-called “Israel Anti-Boycott Act” would impose fines of up to $250,000 (£192,000) on any US citizen “engaged in interstate or foreign commerce” who supports a boycott of Israeli goods and services." 45 senators support bill that makes boycotting Israel a crime The bill drafted in conjunction with AIPAC will make it illegal for Americans to support boycotts of Israel. This is many believe an infringement of Americans First Amendment rights but has broad support in Congress. Yet another sign that the US Government is a mere lapdog for the Israelis and American politicians care more about religious fanatics on the other side of the world than they do about protecting the rights of Americans.
Israel is stealing land, houses and neighborhoods and badly treating Palestinians and Uncle Sam is one of the only Western countries not condemning them? Bloody sad.
American politicians care more about the loo la Zionist extremists in Israel than they do about the American people. It's disgusting the amount of welfare showered on the Israeli state every year. http://ifamericaknew.org/stat/usaid.html
Unfortunately it boils down to religion. Its weird that the predominately Christian countries support a Religion when the Jews look down upon them in return. They are the chosen ones after all.
It's baffling how many on both sides don't read their own texts. Many Christians think of Judaism as the synagogue of Satan trying to bring about revelations by building the 3rd Temple. This is what Jesus said to the Pharisees "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the judgment of hell?" Jews believe Jesus is boiling in excrement according to the Talmud and call Mary a whore. Furthermore it was the Jews that petitioned the Romans to kill Jesus. Politicians aside, the two groups aren't on the best terms. At least Muslims revere Mary and see Jesus as a prophet.
It's mind blowing how little the people here know. But what can I expect from nazis who support Sharia law. "Once you believe the lies, you can never see the truth"
I would trust an Israeli over a terrorist anyday Oh and so that I am clear I am not calling anyone here a terrorist That would be against the rules

It looks like the bill is designed to punish people for their prejudices against Israel. I think it's misguided, if someone hates Jews they shouldn't have to buy Jewish products.
This has nothing to do with Judaism. US govt supports Israel because of the strategic geopolitical importance, and anti-Zionists oppose Israel for their war crimes and violating human rights.
"Nazi" has lost all meaning and it is because of people using it like you have's fault. What Nazis support sharia law? I thought they were the Islamophobes too?
