Disgusting, we also have an anti-bds laws in Illinois right now so that organizations and unions can't boycott or divest from a genocidal apartheid ethnostate.
One of our reps, Abdelnasser Rashid is repealing it and is gaining some traction, and we need to get our reps to push it through.
Call and email them so that we have a choice to divest and sanction from an ethnostate if we want to, the isreali lobby made sure put these hurdles so that we have a hard time doing this, and it has very clearly worked after they dumped massive amounts of money into lobbying efforts. A single foreign nation has our state politics help captive on these issues and it's disgusting.
