Nice senseless phrasing, but there is no consumer boycott that is illegal.

- FollowingTheDao 2y ago...yet.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoNot quite, there's a long history of legislation about consumer boycotts of Israeli products. 38 out of 50 states have laws on their books prohibiting Israeli product boycott and some form or another. In the most egregious cases, these do things like fire School teachers if they are choosing to avoid Israeli products in their personal life. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-BDS_laws https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-BDS_laws Read the constitutional challenges for some examples...
- JohnFen 2y agoAs far as I'm aware, the anti-BDS laws only pertain to performance under governmental contracts or similar, or are merely statements of position without legal effect. Is there a law that prohibits individuals who are not operating under such a contract from boycotting?
- s1artibartfast 2y agoAll anti-BDS that I am aware of operate through government employment and contracting. I would however clarify your statement in that the scope often extends not just to the work under contract, but personal and professional behavior outside the scope of contract.
- JohnFen 2y agoYes, but it's still under the authority of the contract. That means that expressing support of a boycott is not illegal, it's just grounds for termination of that employment.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoThat is correct.
