Challenging Anti-Boycott Legislation in the US

December 13, 2022

Washington DC, Lafayette Park in front of the White House, August 2, 2014. Tens of thousands peacefully gathered here today for a rally and march in support of the people of Gaza who are under occupation and siege by Israeli armed forces. Over 1,600 overwhelmingly civilian Palestinian Gazans including over 300 childen have lost their lives in this most recent Israeli invasion. There was virtually no US corporate media coverage of this important and unexpectedly large event.

The Israeli regime’s defenders across the US are ramping up efforts to criminalize the constitutionally protected right to boycott. Beyond violating the rights of Palestine solidarity activists, this threatens to undermine the tenets of a healthy democracy. Al-Shabaka’s US Policy Fellow, Tariq Kenney-Shawa, examines this development and suggests what lawmakers, civil society organizations, and concerned citizens should do to challenge it.
