Many governmental entities will not contract with companies that “boycott Israel.”
This, of course, is poorly defined. And is being litigated in Michigan, I believe.
But the argument from regressive AGs is that boycott is not speech - it’s action, and therefore they are permitted to enforce a ban on that action.
Pretty shit tier argument, and one that will probably bite them in the ass if there’s any chance of consistency from the supreme court (slim chance.)
The hypocrisy is the point.
So money is speech and free if it’s used for political campaigns, but it’s not speech if you choose not to buy from or work for a specific country.
I hate this world.
