They'd draft up their own constitution and THEN y'all might be fucked.
I'm actually pretty surprised that a state like Texas would be majority pro-Israel.
If King of the Hill taught me anything, it's that Texas is an overwhelmingly Republican state.
Are Republicans generally pro-Israel? Maybe anti-Muslim enough to favor Israel as the lesser of two evils?
Most Republicans are like unpaid Hasbara. If you say anything that could even be interpreted as being anti-Israel to my grandparents for example, they will flip out and tell you all about how valuable of an ally they are and how you're going to "be punished severely" for talking shit about God's chosen peopleThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Not even remotely jedi tho.
Somehow the whole circumsision fad caught on like wildfire well outside the bounds of Judaism.
I'd love to know why this is still a fucking thing. Apparently I got drunk one day and cussed out my mother and grandmother for it lol -

No point reading it if you're not American.
TLDR
But basically, the governor is a faggot, signed a bill into law that forced people to take an oath stating that they wouldn't boycott Israel, and the federal court declared the law is unconstitutional. Pretty simple. Governor needs to be shot in the guts and plowed under for fertilizer
Considering Americam culture basically dictates the culture of the entire Anglosphere (and to a lesser extent the rest of the world), I'd say there's pretty solid justification for anyone to read this. Granted its legal implications will most likely not have parallels in the rest of the Anglosphere/world, but its social and general political ramifications surely do. At least in my humble - Canadian - opinion. BDS is an international movement that warrants international interest (and international support). -

Trust me, it does. It plays an amusingly large role, anyway. Brown people in Canada (not black, like Indian/Paki etc) didn't just randomly recreate aspects of black American culture, they absorbed it from America. That's just one really obvious example, but via music and Hollywood American culture is a driving force throughout the English-speaking world. Obviously there are a lot of differences as a result of differing history/heritage, but let's just say it makes more sense for an Australian to care about something happening in America than vice versa.
This may or may no serve to undermine my point, but another aspect is legally protected rights. You would be amazed how many Canadians?Brits/Aussies/Kiwis unconsciously think they have the same free speech rights as Americans. Or the same rights regarding unlawful search and seizure. Etc.
If real life was a game of Civilization, America would be well on its way to achieving a culture victory. -
