Comment on YSK that in several US States, it's illegal to boycott Israel
GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 1 week agoDon’t put words in the mouth of the law. We have something similar in TX. If you are a government employee you have to agree not to “boycott Israel”. It doesn’t say boycott Israeli products or companies. It says “boycott Israel” itself, so you just can’t say that you’ll never travel there.

Why me? I reached to the (it seems wrongly worded) news.
Try to be a bit more open minded to foreigners’ questions please.

It wasn’t meant as a slight to you. It was more a comment on how they worded the law.
Kind of like how the news will turn trumps ramblings into coherent thoughts. We shouldn’t modify the language of poorly written laws to make sense of them. That hurts the people governed by them.

I see, thanks for clearing that up.
