      It’s a free speech matter. You are allowed to not buy stuff, you aren’t allowed to say you aren’t buying stuff because of a boycott.

      Edit: just to be clear, I’m not defending the policy, I’m just explaining how it works, which is also, probably, the best way to fight it.

        have passed legislation making it illegal for state agencies to work with companies that boycott Israel
