Gov. Cuomo just signed a McCarthyite executive order requiring state agencies to divest from organizations that support the Palestinian call to boycott companies profiting from, or cultural institutions complicit in, Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people.
This is also, of course, an attack on our rights.
On June 5 New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law an executive order aimed at the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) Movement. BDS is a non-violent economic and political protest against the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.

*** PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY***
Thursday, June 9th, 5:30 PM
Outside Gov. Cuomo’s office, 633 3rd Avenue between 40th and 41st
Organized by Adalah-NY: The New York Campaign for the Boycott of Israel; Jewish Voice for Peace-NY; and Jews Say No!
Tell Gov. Cuomo: We will proudly continue to stand for justice and boycott Israel until it complies with international law and respects Palestinian human rights!
State-sanctioned backlash against the movement for Palestinian human rights has reached a new low: Gov. Cuomo just signed a McCarthyite executive order requiring state agencies to divest from organizations that support the Palestinian call to boycott companies profiting from, or cultural institutions complicit in, Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people. Furthermore, the order requires the creation of a publicly available blacklist of all companies and institutions that support the movement.
Boycott is a time-honored tool of communities across the globe. Cuomo’s move is blatantly unconstitutional and is shamelessly designed to attack the movement for Palestinian human rights.
Please join us! Tell Gov. Cuomo: We will continue to stand for justice and boycott Israel until the Palestinian people achieve freedom, justice, and equality. We will continue to boycott Israel because it is the right thing to do.
Please RSVP to the Facebook event here and share with friends

Better yet, stay out of New York altogether. It has become a Zionist, totalitarian, anti-Constitution, predatory police state. Those armed gangs on the NY Thruway and Northway, who are shaking people down, are NYS troopers. If your prescription pills or vitamins are not in their original, labeled containers, you will have your vehicle and bodily orifices searched, held overnight in prison in some decaying, section 8 crackhouse town, then raped by corrupt lawyers and judges for money. The charge will be “public endangerment” and whatever else they can come up with.
Stay away from “New Israel” if you don’t want to be treated like a Palestinian.
I’ve been gone for 6 years and never looked back.
