Reply to comment by Upset-Ad4844 in ACLU asks supreme court to overturn Arkansas’ anti-boycott law against Israel | Arkansas by Im__Bruce_Wayne__AMA

This isn't the first time the anti BDS laws have been sued - successfully - in courts including the supreme court. ACLU is the usual challenger.

The "rights" group that hasn't seemingly fought them is unsurprisingly the Anti deformation league (ADL), which claims they do a 'case by case' decision but seem to always decide they approve of the laws barring you from your first amendment to protest Israel.

Thanks, Mist. I looked them up on Wikipedia because I'm not very familiar.

It seems they are pretty entrenched as a pro-Israel group and do not even pretend to be apolitical. Is this a fair appraisal?

Close enough, they're what people refer to when they say pro Israeli lobbyists in the US. They're also the opposite of B'Tselem which claims Israeli is apartheid and ADL called the report anti semitic. @_@

Thanks for your support making it apparent on which is which

Yeah, they are one of the groups that promote the narrative that criticism of the Israel government policies is antisemitism.
