      “just don’t buy it if you don’t like it!”

      The thing is that they want you to like them. It is not enough for them to have all the guns and bombs and tanks. It is not enough for them to occupy Palestine and be able to carry out a genocide with impunity. It is not enough for them to make dissent illegal. They will only be happy when you actually sincerely love them for securing the future for white children between the river and the sea.

        Yep. Just a way of linking social media posts to an action most people are willing to take. Not everyone who is Anti-Israel can or will go to protests, so they gotta have some crumble of an action to arrest someone over their thoughts.

        For the rest it’s a solid warning.

      Lots of these laws are not written the idea to be enforced on every single person but to be something they can easily slap someone with that they want in prison for whatever other reason. Are you a leftist in general? Well were gonna charge you with this and since you cant prove you never participated in BDS you go to prison. Guilty til proven innocent and all.

      They can’t check why you didn’t buy sabra hummus or hp printer, but if you suggest in an email or some other traceable way to your boss to stop importing stuff from Israel you’ve just broken the law.

      Or if you talk to the wrong person about BDS or why you dont buy such and such brand.
