    Some are, an unfortunately common take is that it’s actually Israel in charge and the US is the puppet, which is of course nonsense

      What other countries have laws in place in most states where it’s illegal to boycott that country? Where state contracts will be void if the company contracting speaks or acts out against Israel in the form of BDS. Flood victims here in Texas had to sign a waiver declaring they believe Israel has a right to exist in order to receive state disaster assistance. Before that hurricane victims had to sign a waiver declaring they wouldn’t participate in any BDS activity in order to get help. 38 US states have anti BDS laws in effect.

      AIPAC tweeted yesterday that their influence and money had won the primaries of most of the midterm candidates they backed

      But sure the US is in control
