Scott talks to Steven Woskow about recent anti-BDS legislation at both the state and federal level. The issue has been going back and forth in the courts because on the one hand, a boycott is just an expression of personal first amendment freedoms, but on the other, it could be argued that it constitutes discrimination against a religious group. Scott and Woskow, however, agree that the religious discrimination argument is totally illegitimate because this is a political and human rights issue, not a religious one.

Discussed on the show:

• “Anti-BDS Laws vs the First Amendment” (The Libertarian Institute)
• “Text – S.1 – 116th Congress (2019-2020): Strengthening America’s Security in the Middle East Act of 2019” (Library of Congress)
• 85(R) HB 89 – Introduced version
