In July, Texas Governor Greg Abbot signed a bill that allows that state to refuse to work with a business unless it refuses to boycott Israeli products at any time, including products made in Israel's illegal settlements in Palestine. This is a similar case to the one I discussed in my blog last week about the teacher in Kansas. Again the ACLU is getting involved to protect citizens' right to protest and highlighting in this case how inhumane it is to manipulate the hurricane relief process in this way. This is another example of governments targeting the BDS movement, aimed at non-violent protest of Israel through economic pressures.
