Seeing as how I see BDS as an anti-Semitic movement designed to attack the jewish people out of one of a shrinking amount of safe harbours. I do support the law and decision. Obviously, this woman believes such actions are just politics and perhaps even for human rights so I can understand her or the OP outrage, and certianly think her case should be heard and given grounds to appel. I could be wrong. She at least must see though why there is such worry from the jewish point of view? Why such a law is in place?
Few groups share a history as that of the Jewish people, where a once supportive societies first turn to highlight their difference, then attack them economically, then attack them physically. The idea we should just throw out that history of mistrust is silly. Israel represents a safe harbour, remains a strong ally of America, and more importantly is being singled out for no other reason than they are jewish. It is a fair and appropriate response to protect against troublesome local developments such as BDS, maybe it can go too far, maybe this is an example of it going too far. Reading what I did though I see no more issue then that of barring any other forms manifest observable racist behavior by an educators. Debatable certainly, but unlike most cases I think appropriate. Would we be so offended if she had to sign something that said she didn't take part in stopping Africanamericans from having access to all businesses or supports refusing to serve gays?
BDS is economic warfare selecting a country solely for being primary jewish. The tragic Palestine situation is not unique around the world. 25% of Israels citizen remain of that heritage and they have offered the rufugees in West Bank and Gaza many deals to end the current situion. There remains a land disagreement. That is common as are noncitizen refugees in many countries often treated in worse ways. The target on Israel is obviously only because they are jewish, whether people want to admit it or not.
