The rich and famous are very different from you and me.

Those pictures are all fairly recent.

The inability of a surprisingly large number of Americans to use a personal computer is one of the weirder little stories of 2016. Neither major party presidential candidate knows how to use one, and they’re not that old. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tahari doesn’t either.

so what, then, was the point?

I’m so glad you asked! I am a Jew. I am pro-BDS and stand in solidarity with our Palestinian kin because, as a Jew (and as a human being), I am called to fight for justice and against oppression. Speaking out against the atrocities and crimes against international law (occupation, settlements, home demolition, etc.…

There’s nothing wrong or anti-Semitic about being against settlements over the Green Line. There’s nothing “racist” about making a personal decision to boycott Israel, China, Syria or any other country. Period. If you want to join BDS, join BDS.

Agree 100%. I’ve been criticizing Netanyahu, Deri, Olmert and other Israeli political figures for years and there’s certainly nothing anti-Jewish about me.

Exactly. Everybody re-read/re-watch The Crucible. IT’S COMING AGAIN.

I don’t know about NY, but doesn’t the constitution provide individuals with rights that it doesn’t provide the state? An individual or group can espouse religious beliefs that the American government isn’t allowed to espouse. Maybe a student union and a diverse nation aren’t the same thing?

BDS supporters are a coalition that exists in a spectrum. There are many reasonable supporters who would like to see an end to the occupation and see BDS as a means of pressuring that. At the same time, there are elements of the BDS movement that openly support violence and elimination of Israel as a state. There have…

Sing it with me, kids:

Not necessarily true. There’s a New Yorker article which suggests perhaps yes and perhaps no. Constitutional law scholars are completely divided on this issue- likely it will head to the Supreme Court.

Because bad-faith zionist orgs will forever bang the “they hate us” drum and the media/politicians eat it right up.

I’m an Israel supporter and opposed to BDS and this seems like a nakedly unconstitutional, poorly-thought out, poorly executed plan. So, yeah, it seems like anything else Andrew Cuomo has done.

On the plus side, it’s an excellent list of moral companies that have chosen not to prop up apartheid.

You thought McCarthyism was bad, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Hatred for BDS is something I don’t get. They’re not committing terrorist attacks, they’re taking one of the most peaceful paths you can take. Why does my father talk about them like they’re a hate group? As a Jew, I’m a lot more worried about all the hate-mongers that Cheeto Mussolini has enabled. I think they’re a…

I’d also like to point out that the senate this week passed the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act - which isn’t exactly as great as it sounds. The Jewish Voice for Peace has been pretty fantastic about educating people about the dangers of the “alt-right” and Steve Bannon and they’ve been talking about this legislation and…

Andrew Cuomo’s Anti-BDS Blacklist Is a McCarthyist Scare Tactic Designed to Silence Political Speech

On interesting thing is that it’s a state doing this.
