Hamas-linked CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations), the nation’s largest Muslim special rights and advocacy organization, today cheered the so-called “principled stance” taken by a North Carolina far-left “Jewish” traitor, Dr Steve Feldman (photo below), who refused to sign a pledge mandated by an Arkansas anti-BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) law requiring individuals or companies to pledge not to boycott Israel.
CAIR Dr. Steve Feldman, a Jewish dermatologist from North Carolina, was denied a $500 honorarium for a lecture in Arkansas because he would not check a box agreeing to not boycott Israel. Arkansas’s law requiring anyone who does business with the state to sign a pledge not to boycott Israel clashes with his religious and moral views.”
Forward Soon, he received a note informing him that he hadn’t filled out the form properly to receive payment. “I replied, ‘No, I didn’t check the wrong box,’” Feldman told the Forward. “I actively support a boycott until Palestinian families are allowed to return to their homes, the homes from which “we” expelled them in the creation of the State of Israel.” (This is a well-documented blood libel. NO one was expelled by Israel, in fact, Arab Muslims were actively encouraged to stay by Israel. It was the Arabs who forced them to leave, promising that Israel would be quickly defeated in the 1948 war that Arabs waged against the reborn Jewish State. The Arabs were wrong.)
In 2017, the state enacted Act 710, “An Act To Prohibit Public Entities From Contracting With And Investing In Companies That Boycott Israel,” making Arkansas one of over 30 states to have passed laws related to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. BDS is a Palestinian-led grassroots campaign designed to put economic pressure on Israeli businesses, cultural institutions and universities in support of Palestinians.
The Arkansas law, however, is particularly stringent, as it requires individuals or companies to pledge not to engage in BDS activities if they wish to conduct business with state-run institutions such as state schools. In February, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal in a case where a lower court had ruled that the editor of the Arkansas Times would be required to make such a pledge in order to receive advertisement contracts from the state.
