One can understand government anger at the many Leftist traitors in Israel but this does seem to be going too far
Advocating a boycott of West Bank settlements could lead to financial penalties in Israel under a new law passed on Monday with the blessing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Critics of the bill pushed through parliament by right-wing lawmakers called the measure anti-democratic and a blow to free speech. The vote -- carried by 47 to 38 in the 120-seat plenum -- went ahead amid an outcry from opposition legislators and civil liberties groups.
"What this law will enable is for anybody harmed by a deliberate boycott campaign to seek damages through the courts," said its sponsor, Zeev Elkin, a member of Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party.
Supporters of the bill said its reference to boycotts based on "geography" was aimed at countering calls in Israel and abroad for cultural and economic boycotts against settlements in the West Bank, occupied land Palestinians want for a state.
The Association of Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI), an opponent of the bill, said that "regardless of one's position on the question of promoting or opposing a boycott, it is unquestionably a protected form of free speech."

Most Israelis understand that if they allow their radical left-wing to gain control, Israel is finished. They have a perfect example to study in the US.
Many "leftists" in the US are Zionists and pro Israel... Consider the activism of the Anti - Defamation League. Its purpose appears to be the deconstruction of all religious expression in the US that is not sympathetic to Judaism of the zionist persuasion. The ADL is an important voice in 'shaming' any white Americans or Australians who advocate against the purposeful racial diasporisation of mankind, a necessary precursor to an imposed "noachide" puppet government.
