Jews? You know we have other federally-protected classes, correct?

If you’re referring to Israel, no, there aren’t legal consequences for criticising Israel. Half of the vocal minority of the internet is constantly up in arms about Israel.

30+ states have anti-BDS statutes that make it a crime to criticize Israel.

Oh, which group did you have in mind?

The ones you can't boycott, divest, or sanction and hold a public sector job in many states.

I'm trying not to derail the conversation by saying the state of Israel, and its lobbying apparatus.
