Usher, October,
cycle, of death,
silent, Arabs,
complicit, West,
I cannot fathom,
all this..
heart-break..
And though, sky,
projection, flurry,
three-fold,
iron clad,
iron dome,

Self defend!
your self defense!
defense of self!
defend! and fend!
on the fence?
line, defense?
go! commence!
immense! intense!
sense, suspense,
pretense, dispense,
our expense,

🎥 Israel, Palestine, BDS, and the right to boycott in the US | The Take
Al Jazeera English | Jan 4, 2024
“There's been many groups that have been involved in the effort to pass anti-boycott laws. There is one particular group called ALEC, which is the American Legislative Exchange Council.
This isn't the state capitol. It's a resort hotel where lawmakers are wined and dined as members of the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC.
Literally every state has been influenced by the work of ALEC. Scores of ALEC's model bills have been enacted into law throughout the country.
So they were instrumental in how quickly these bills were able to pass across the country because they have a very well-oiled machine with what they call model legislation. And then these model legislations are taken to each state, and all they need to do is add their state name to the bill. Not a lot of thinking required.”
Whirring red lights,
extend, expend,
defend! friend!
to! the end!
pretend,
dead-end,
condemn us, hell,
blend, bend,
remember your place,

The film BOYCOTT premiered in 2021, directed by Julia Bacha (featured in above podcast), it’s worth the watch (feel free to ‘shukran’ me later 🤓)
Documentary: 🎥 BOYCOTT | Just Vision
I was curious,
two things,
to understand..
U.S.A’s,
laboratory,
of democracy
➊ ALEC
The American Legislative Exchange Council is America’s largest nonpartisan, voluntary membership organization of state legislators dedicated to the principles of limited government, free markets and federalism.
Some of their recently published print ⬇️
Oct 25, 2023:
Nov 3, 2023:
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) stands with Israel and roundly condemns Hamas’ unprovoked and lethal assault on innocent Israeli civilians – children, women and men. This “act of sheer evil” resulted in more Jews killed in a single day than at any time since the Holocaust and more Jewish deaths than resulted from Nazi Germany’s Kristallnacht in 1938.
ALEC members responded rapidly by drafting the model Resolution to Affirm Support for Israel and to Condemn Hamas, which was adopted this week during an expedited meeting of ALEC’s joint Federalism & International Relations and Homeland Security Task Force.

➋ Related Legislations
I share a couple,
federal bills,
introduced, 2023,
freedom, speech,
once upon,
a time ago..
🔖 US HB3016 | 2023-2024 | 118th Congress
Short Title: IGO Anti-Boycott Act
Official Title: To amend the Anti-Boycott Act of 2018 to apply the provisions of that Act to international governmental organizations.
Introduced Apr 28, 2023: This federal law would amend existing federal anti-boycott legislation to criminalize participation in, compliance with or the furnishing of information regarding boycotts of "countries friendly to the United States" by "international governmental organizations." This proposed amendment is intended to target efforts by the United Nations Human Rights Office and other international organizations to track companies involved in Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
🔖 US HB4564 | 2023-2024 | 118th Congress
Short Title: Countering Hate Against Israel by Federal Contractors Act
Official Title: To prohibit Federal agencies from contracting with companies engaged in a boycott of Israel, and for other purposes.
Introduced July 11, 2023: This federal law would prohibit federal agencies from entering into a contract with a company unless the contract includes a written certification that the company is not engaged in a boycott of Israel. The law applies to contracts valued at more than $100,000 with companies that have 10 or more employees.
And in terms, states,
