Brainfart signs bill prohibiting state funds from being invested in companies boycotting Israel

[47of74]

Our illustrious Governor in action once again;

Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad has signed a bill into law that prohibits state funds from being invested in businesses that boycott Israel.

Branstad signed the bill Tuesday alongside legislative leaders from both chambers of the Legislature.

The law responds to an international boycott movement against Israel that Palestinians say is aimed at ending Israeli occupation. Critics say the movement is discriminatory. Iowa joins a handful of states that have passed legislation in support of Israel.

It's unclear what financial impact the law will have on Iowa, but Branstad says the measure is "the right thing to do."

1. If any of these fools were put through for one day

what the Palestinians and the Bedouin have to go through they would be screaming for their lawyers.

But isn't it so nice that they get the freedom to vote to protect an apartheid state?

2. Something He and Hillary have in common. A hatred of BDS efforts n/t

3. Confused Christians will do anything to "protect" Israel.

The Israel Project is a propaganda agency funded by the Israeli state department. They vehemently defend the Apartheid state and pursue anyone who publicly disagrees with them.
