Over 30 states in the United States have passed anti-BDS legislation in recent years. I plan on asking each of them to enforce these laws against Ben & Jerry’s. They will not treat the State of Israel like this without a response.

DeSantis Uses Power of the State to Blacklist Ben and Jerry’s For Not Loving Israel Enoughhttps://t.co/nEc5iwFt7K

NEW: Florida @GovRonDeSantis, citing his state’s anti-BDS laws, says if Ben & Jerry’s and Unilever don’t end their boycott, the State Board of Administration “must refrain from acquiring any and all Unilever assets consistent with the law.” @newsmax pic.twitter.com/rCj2BP9aGW

From National File, “DeSantis Uses Power of The State To Blacklist Ben And Jerry’s For Not Loving Israel Enough”:
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is placing Ben and Jerry’s on an official government blacklist because the ice cream company is removing its product from Israel in protest of the Zionist regime’s war actions. DeSantis is standing against free speech and the free market by using the power of the state to blacklist a private company choosing to do business the way it wants. This case has massive implications for civil liberties in America going forward. Which business will be targeted next for not supporting Israel? DeSantis previously banned criticism of Israel or Jewish people in public schools and colleges.
DeSantis stated that “It has come to my attention that Ben & Jerry’s has announced plans to remove its products and prohibit the sale of its ice cream in Judea and Samaria. These actions taken by Ben & Jerry’s fall squarely within the prohibited activities defined by Section 215.4725(1)(a), Florida Statutes. Ben & Jerry’s is a wholly owned subsidiary of Unilever, a publicly traded company in which Florida holds multiple investments. Therefore, I am requesting the State Board of Administration (SBA) immediately place Ben & Jerry’s and Unilever on the Continued Examination Companies that Boycott Israel List, and initiate the process to place Ben & Jerry’s, and by extension Unilever, on the Scrutinized Companies that Boycott Israel List. Please provide an update on the status of this process to me and the other Trustees as soon as possible. Should the State Board of Administration affirmatively place Unilever and its corporate entities on the Scrutinized Companies List and these companies do not cease the boycott of Israel as required by Florida law, the Board must refrain from acquiring any and all Unilever assets consistent with the law.”
The whole gang showed up:
“Abbott signed bill into law that would force pension funds to divest from any company boycotting Israel. State Comptroller Glenn Hegar, who controls billions of dollars in assets for Texas public pension fund has already told his office to take action.”

Ben & Jerry’s shameful move to boycott parts of Israel is an outgrowth of the anti-Semitic BDS movement.
State laws against this hateful movement should be applied wherever applicable to push back against Ben & Jerry’s disgraceful decision.

#Benandjerrys has now decided they know more about Jerusalem than the Israelis. If Ben & Jerry’s wants to have a meltdown & boycott Israel, OK is ready to respond. Oklahoma has an anti-boycott of Israel law in place

We should immediately block the sale of all #Benandjerrys in the state and in any state-operated facility to align with our law.

Discrimination against Israel & Israeli Jews is hate, pure and simple.
Americans shouldn’t stand for it. #BenAndJerrysBigotry

Ben & Jerry’s losing its kosher certification for deciding not to sell ice cream in illegal settlements strikes me as a wild conflation of religious practice with support for the occupation

Prime Minister Bennett spoke with Alan Jope, CEO of Unilever which owns Ben & Jerry’s and made it clear that he views with utmost gravity the decision by Ben & Jerry’s to boycott Israel and added that this is a subsidiary of Unilever, which has taken a clearly anti-Israel step.

Prime Minister Bennett emphasized that from the perspective of the State of Israel, this is an action that has severe consequences, including legal, and it will take strong action against any boycott directed against its citizens.

New York State needs to follow its own Executive Order, lead by example, and disassociate entirely from Unilever and Ben & Jerry’s for their anti-Israel and anti-Jewish discrimination. Read my full statement

“This was a decision that was taken by Ben & Jerry’s and its independent board,” Unilever CEO Alan Jope told investors. “If there’s one message I want to underscore” it’s “that Unilever remains fully committed to our business in Israel.”

Did we see any reaction like this from the GOP to the corporate boycotts against North Carolina in 2015 for their bill banning men from girls’ bathrooms?
Democrats and Rino GOP Threatened Trump with War unless he conceded to their coup, Owen Shroyer breaks it down on The War Room.
How about the latest organized boycott against Georgia that was backed by Biden?
Most states have passed (blatantly unconstitutional) laws banning boycotting the foreign state of Israel but none have passed laws banning boycotting states here in America!
Can it be any more obvious what is going on here?

Forget just the GOP, have we ever seen any reaction like this with both parties uniting to stand up against boycotts of America?
A leaked internal memo from the Anti-Defamation League in 2018 revealed the pro-Israel lobby group thought that anti-BDS laws were “unconstitutional” and would ultimately be “harmful to the Jewish community.”
The ADL feared that anti-BDS laws would “raise the profile of the BDS movement while giving ‘the appearance that the Jewish community exercises undue influence in government,’ ” Forward reported, quoting from the memo.
The ADL is the most extreme pro-Israel lobbying group in America but even they thought these laws were going a step too far! Of course, as we’ve seen, they went on to back anti-BDS laws anyways and decided to just try and crush all dissent with mass censorship!
