Left-wing Jews, such as Bernie Sanders and Diane Feinstein, believe that legislation to weaken the racist BDS movement is a “threat to free speech.” However, at the same time, many left-wing Jews also believe that if one criticizes the “Palestinians” for their racism, terror, murder and incitement, then that makes you a racist and an Islamophobe. Freedom of speech laws should not apply when criticizing the “Palestinians,” according to the left, and especially much of the Jewish left.
The BDS movement has nothing to do with free speech, and everything to do with hatred, racism, bigotry, and isolating the world’s only Jewish state and its supporters. It is the BDS movement that is a threat to free speech: to pro-Israel Americans. The BDS movement has also resulted in a spike in anti-Semitic incidents across the United States.
Pro-Israel Americans are being bullied, demonized, harassed, marginalized, threatened, abused, and even assaulted by the pro-BDS thugs. Anti-BDS legislation must be enacted to help keep pro-Israel Americans safe, particularly on college campuses. Unfortunately, Sanders and Feinstein have no interest in keeping pro-Israel Americans safe. Sanders and Feinstein only care about appeasing their anti-Semitic voters.

Will AIPAC attack Sanders and Feinstein the way they attacked Rand Paul? Not a chance. Perhaps there is no greater enemy to Israel than the Jewish left.
“Left wing pushes back against last-minute effort to pass anti-BDS bill,” by Michael Wilner, Jerusalem Post, December 20, 2018:
WASHINGTON — Infighting has broken out within the Democratic Party over a bill that would harshly penalize companies engaged in international boycotts of Israel.
While Democratic leadership supports the Israel Anti-Boycott Act, which targets US companies that join the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against the Jewish state, two powerful senators in Democratic politics expressed their opposition to its passage on Wednesday.
Congress is debating whether to attach the law to must-pass spending legislation this month that will keep the government open– a common tactic used by congressional leadership to clean up the legislative docket and pass controversial bills.
The legislation, introduced by Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Rob Portman (R-OH) in the Senate and Juan Vargas (D-CA) and Peter Roskam (R-IL) in the House, has undergone several revisions after the American Civil Liberties Union warned that it would infringe on the right to protest. Those revisions have led several Democratic lawmakers to sign on to its passage, making the bill a bipartisan effort, as most Republicans support it.
J Street, a liberal advocacy organization that seeks a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, opposes the bill and praised Senators Dianne Feinstein of California and Bernie Sanders of Vermont for speaking out on Wednesday….

They are aided by the dumb , ignorant Left/Liberal loons coming out of colleges/schools run by pro-jihadi left/liberal loons
And by the time they realise their stupidity they get assaulted , gang raped or murdered like this couple its too late for them https://tinyurl.com/yahupccy
Problem is they enable evil while not able to see evil thanks to pro-jihadi left/liberal indoctrination in schools/colleges where real history of islam and America is no longer taught.

There is a misunderstanding about what authoritarian supposed to mean.
The unjust Muhammad-law must be abolished. It is not an ethical authority.
The values of justice, truth, love, friendliness, ecology, human rights, support for self-realization, health (see DrAxe.com), English, freedom from religion, global imperialism, cultivation of ecological best quality basics & ban on the unjust Muhammad-law must be upheld as ethical values.
The foundation of Muhammadist anti-Israel incitement is deception, a war tactic commanded by unjust Muhammad & it targets all Non-muhammadists.
Firms must realize that they are elements of a system that strives to be ethical.
It is important that the services of Wikipedia, social media, media, education, prison, judiciary, Army, Police & government go through a renovation & submit under the ethical system.

That Nazi big itch in Texas who dislikes Texas’s own BDS legislation is pretty mmuch doing the same thing that Sens Feinstien and Sanders are doing — except she is not a Senator (thank G-d).

Good! One can be pro-Israel and see this as clearly exceeding the authority of government under the First Amendment. We are a country of a Constitution. Majority will comes second.
The failure to protect private citizens who support Israel is a police failure, but no further legislation is needed.

While I respect one’s right to protest, I believe we are losing site of the fact that the BDS conduct involves much more than “protesting.” It involves foreign policy issues, which our Constitution places in its creation language of our Constitution, and directs that power to the President. Though the Congress has legislative rights over inter-state trade, and does have the power to approve treaties, I wonder up front whether this bill has any legal basis, though I support it. The BDS movement is precipitated by a false narrative by the Islamic community, that continues to claim that Israel is an “occupier.” While I can understand that some of the Arabs chose conflict, when Israel was formed thru the U.N., rather than live in peace with the Jews, that choice of conflict caused them to lose their lands, and I see no reason to continually claim that Israel is an “occupier.” Unfortunately, the Arabs do not know that their best interests would be served by adopting peace with Israel; yet, they seem to be impervious to that solution. Furthermore, BDS conduct will only come back to hurt the Arab people living in the land that Israel needs to protect itself from the continual promotion of “death to Israel (and the U.S.)” Why any right thinking American would oppose such a bill, is mind boggling. I know all the Islamic elected members of congress will vote against the bill, but the thought that any of us “others” would do so is very upsetting. Why are these people in Congress? Cannot the electorate see the folly of placing them their? It seems so obvious to me! Their conduct supports my belief that their Islamic belief system comes first, not what is best for America! That is why I continuously claim that those believers are a “clear and present” danger to our American way of life.

antisemitic “Time Magazine” sneers by askibng the question, can Jews be antisemites? Norman Podhoretz points out that they can, be antisemites, stting that Jews are subject to the prevailing ideas as are anyone else. One only needs to know of that Israeli who wrote “The Wandering Jew” to realize this. This self hating mental sickness is infecting white peoople too as witnessed by all these white idiots calling for white genocide; etc. You have that unfunny person, Samantha Bee, blaiming white people for the problems in America. I know what she is referring to, but what white people did in 2915 is something to be applauded, not castigated.

But Jewish students are feeling increasingly unsafe because of the BDS movement, the NYU campus was recently shut down because of a threat against supporters of Israel:

Thank you for sharing. I’ve forwarded it to my friends. Such a “small” news MSM would never report. I can imagine if it happened in mu$$$rats center on in mo$que. We would probably heard it 24/7. WTF is going on here?

The problem with the young Jews in US comes from the schools and Universities. They are brainwashed there so badly by the liberal professors, that it’s almost impossible to tolerate it. I emigrated from the former Soviet Union at the age 30. It’s easy to understand the degree of my hatred to the Socialism, which ruined my young years and shortened the life of my parents. I and my husband are both strong Republicans, and I volunteered for Trump campaign. My son graduated University, has Masters Degree. He was 1 yr old when we arrived to USA.He is the best son in the world. But when it gets to the politics, I’m speechless. He is a strong Democrat, and there is no way to explain him anything. It’s very sad and alarming. Leftist are trash, but they have a strong propaganda machine. Being raised in USSR I know how they brainwashed children since their toddlers years. Western liberals go by their book. Children’s mind is blank in their early age. Whatever you plant will grow up.The same applies to I$$lamization of the Western world, political correctness, Holocaust denial, etc. It’s very scary. Next generation will vote Democrats automatically, so we’ll have one happy Communist Party ruling by Globalist cabal. Kafka’s nightmare. Sad. We have to fight it with their weapon. Education system needs a complete change. All the indoctrination must be stopped.

Wow, it is very sad that young Americans and Jews do not understand the true evils of some leftist ideologies such as Communism; I, too, understand well its evils very well. I guess it all comes down to peer pressure. Many young people support whatever their friends happen to support.
They are simply too sheltered in the West today, they cannot begin to understand the meaning of true evil or true pain.

It’s not Diane Feinstein, it’s Diane Feinswein. I once wrote her objecting to my tax dollars supporting the Jew hating/killing Paleswine. She, or more like one of her lackeys, replied that Fatah is “moderate”. I wonder if she’s been in some way compromised by islamic petrod0llars.
