Anti-boycott laws do not only punish companies, they are the most dangerous assault on free speech in the United States since the McCarthy era.
By Juan Cole: The Jewish Israel terror regime's caretaker prime minister Binyamin 'The Baby Butcher' Netanyahu, who has been indicted for corruption and is facing an election soon, just boasted that his ministry of strategic affairs has managed to undermine first amendment protections for free speech in the United States by lobbying state legislatures to pass laws forbidding the boycott of Israel.
Anti-boycott laws of the Old South were used against Martin Luther King, Jr. and other activists in the Civil Rights movement to keep African-Americans subordinate and segregated. The right to boycott establishments over civil rights was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1982 in NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware.
