Şalom Gazetesinde yer alan habere göre, Tlaib şu satırları paylaşmıştı: “Hangi ülkeyi temsil ettiklerini unutmuş bunlar. Burası ABD, boykot etmek bir hak, eşitlik ve özgürlük için mücadele ile dolu tarihimizin bir parçası.”
They forgot what country they represent. This is the U.S. where boycotting is a right & part of our historical fight for freedom & equality. Maybe a refresher on our U.S. Constitution is in order, then get back to opening up our government instead of taking our rights away. https://t.co/KkmqjR58ZM

SB1 allows local & state govt’s to boycott the boycotters by ending contracts with companies that give in to these Anti-Israel demands

Opposition to our bill isn’t about free speech. Companies are FREE to boycott Israel. But local & state governments should be FREE to end contracts with companies that do.

Many claim they oppose BDS. But shielding BDS from counter-boycotts is de facto support of BDS.
