In Texas, government organizations not only can’t divest from Israel, but also can’t award contracts to anyone who divest from Israel or speaks ill of it.
It’s insane. When analyzing bids for janitorial services for City Hall a few weeks back, I was required to vett them for their stance on Israel.
but that’s illegal!

I want to know why no one has challenged that in court, it’s clearly bullshit.
Perhaps because of fear they will be mistakenly and immediately labeled anti-Semitic?
Because the restrictions is technically on the city, not the organizations we aren’t allowed to hire.
It’s bullshit.
