There's one in NY and they have portraits of Biden, Trump, MBS, Netanyahu, and maybe a couple others on the ground for you to step on 😊

I don't think so. The hostages they've released so far are either dual citizens of Israel and another country, or they're just too old to keep as hostages like these two. Then there's the fact that these hostages keep fucking up the Israeli narrative that all the hostages are being tortured (or whatever evil shit theyre projecting onto Hamas) by saying they were treated very well.

Yeah it's like an indirect enforcement of sorts.

I do believe to even work in government in Texas (and probably other states) you have to sign a contract confirming you will not participate in BDS. https://theintercept.com/2018/12/17/israel-texas-anti-bds-law/ Im pretty sure this applies to teachers as well.

So will the pigs come for you and make you buy a soda stream? No, but if you ever want to work in the public sector or something even just public facing then you better keep your mouth shut.

In 2016 NJ passed an anti BDS law. Remember when Ben and Jerry's stopped selling to occupied Palestine? Well their parent company at the time Unilever is based in NJ and the state had invested over $180 million in Unilever with the state pension fund.

They divested that $180 million in response to Ben and Jerry's, and then eventually Unilever sold Ben and Jerry's rights in Israel to an Israeli company in order to comply.
