Texas city drops Israel boycott ban for individuals but says businesses must still reject BDS to get hurricane aid-Mondoweiss

Wonder if the city hall is run by Israhellis, or eat up with zionism “christians”.

Whichever, they need to get the hell out of Texas.

Maybe move to Palestine, go live in a shack with armed goons raping and murdering their children at will, starving, no clean water.

I mean if they like the shit so much, why are they in Texas?

Texas city drops Israel boycott ban for individuals but says businesses must still reject BDS to get hurricane aid

The city of Dickinson, Texas, will no longer require private citizens affected by Hurricane Harvey to sign a pledge guaranteeing they do not and will not boycott Israel as a condition to receiving help.

After a closed meeting with city attorney David Olson, the city council passed a motion to remove a clause that conditions disaster relief aid on an applicant’s political views.

While a clear victory for residents of Dickinson — if perhaps bittersweet because the storm-struck are simply back to where the application process should have begun — the amendment only applies to private homeowners.

“The council voted to strike the language related to the pledge not to boycott Israel for residential applicants for the grants,” city management assistant Bryan Milward told Mondoweiss. However, Milward confirmed, “the language is still in for businesses.”

City businesses damaged by the storm are still prohibited from engaging in any boycott of Israel if they are to receive relief funding. According to the city police department, the hurricane seriously damaged 88 businesses, ten of which are closing down indefinitely.
