Bc this is what happens when the right wing hates free speech as much as the left wing does
If you do ITAR work, there are also federal-level reporting regulations regarding boycotting Israel.
What do you mean? As in you should or you can't boycott? ITAR is something I have almost no knowledge on.
The headline could be clearer. This is about a newspaper being told by a state sponsored advertiser that they must "pledge" not to boycott Israel. It's much more specific than the current headline, which is confusing. Specifically "telling" - like an ad campaign or something is not an infringement of rights vs. "compelling" - which is my read of what is happening in the article.
I grew up in Arkansas. I love the Arkansas Times and have fond memories reading it in coffee shops as a teenager and college student. Advertisers advertise with whomever they wish, but I'm having a hard time understanding how laws that mandate a political position - any political position - aren't clear violations of the first amendment.
The neocons, who have ties to the Israel lobby, have been running the Republican party for some time, so this is not surprising.
If you skimmed the article it involves top level dems, too.

Disclaimer: I hate statists that dabble in religion. Send them to double-barrel buckshot hell.

The article discusses similar executive orders and laws originating from Democrats as well (New York and California)...
That's not surprising either, since they also have ties.
Israel runs both parties...Just look at the Biden Cabinet.
You have it backwards. Israel is a US client state.

"If there were not an Israel, we would have to invent one to make sure our interests were preserved" Joe Biden, 2013

> There is going to be certain things that happen in Israel before Christ returns. There will be famines and disease and war. And the Jewish people are going to go back to their homeland. At that point Jesus Christ will come back to the earth.” He added, “Anybody, Jewish or not Jewish, that doesn’t accept Christ, in my opinion, will end up going to hell.”

It is clear why America is mocked on the national stage.

Because people don't understand that individuals do not represent the whole?

Do you make these points just about Americans, or do you use the same logic for other demographic information? If you see a black man rob a store, do you say "and this is why racist whites hate black people" as if it is somehow a pat on the back for the stereotyping group?

State senators do represent a whole bunch of individuals though. In fact you gotta get a whole bunch of individuals together to agree to elect one!
First of you probably meant on the "international stage".

Second, America doesn't care about your xenophobia.

The people making the movie “Boycott” got a state senator to say that, but it's not what's driving the debate.
you sound like a heavens gate member. supernatural is not real and i hope you sober up and face the reality that conception cannot occur without sperm and no one has ever risen from the dead.
Where exactly is he getting all of this prognostication?
Yeah Israel sucks ass. But the alternative is Muslim zealots consolidating a lot more power in the region. Glass it TBH. P.U. let’s get some Pu.
While probably not related, this is weirdly similar to Executive Order 14042, which was the one produced by the current administration to mandate covid vaccinations among federal contractors and subcontractors. It's even down to the point where both seem to regulate not doing something.
Honestly, the obsession with these types of tropes are getting old. The world goes on, exemplary individuals shine and legislation gets passed, where are the narratives going to be when even questioning something so blatanly apparent is even a question worth asking?
Jesus I just had a comment that got banned in like 5 minutes. I don’t hate Jews or Muslims or anything, wtf. Here’s a quote:

Are Muslim zealots desirable? Are Jew zealots desirable? They all suck and my life is better without them both. I don’t hate btw.

Jews got butthurt and abused the mod system. HN sucks freshly circumcised infant penis. Just like a Rabbi.
This post getting flagged shows just how insecure the pro Israel crowd is.
AHAHAHA you bitches got me on refresh.
Ironically, the heavy-handed attempts to censor and suppress BDS is what ultimately led me to support them.
