Abby Martin Blocked From Speaking at Georgia Southern for Refusing to Sign Pro-Israel Loyalty OathChris Menahan

Journalist Abby Martin has revealed that she was blocked from delivering a keynote speech at Georgia Southern University for refusing to “sign a contractual pledge to not boycott Israel” to comply with Georgia’s anti-Boycott, Divest and Sanctions law.

“After I was scheduled to give keynote speech at an upcoming @GeorgiaSouthern conference, organizers said I must comply with Georgia’s anti-BDS law and sign a contractual pledge to not boycott Israel,” Martin said Friday on Twitter. “I refused and my talk was canceled. The event fell apart after colleagues supported me.”

Abby Martin✔@AbbyMartin · Jan 11, 2020Replying to @AbbyMartin @GeorgiaSouthernThe organizers were afraid my pro-Palestine activism & film Gaza Fights For Freedom would violate Georgia’s anti-BDS law. Georgia is one of 27 states that passed legislation to criminalize BDS efforts. Ironically, the conference was centered around the notion of “media literacy.”Abby Martin✔@AbbyMartinThe global awareness & success of BDS has terrified the political establishment, which has pursued an aggressive, bipartisan push to ban Israel boycotts across the US, especially at universities. Trump’s recent executive order furthers cements this goal. https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/trump-appeases-israel-lobby-executive-order …Trump appeases Israel lobby with executive orderOrder foreshadows more government inquisitions into Palestine activism on campus.electronicintifada.net1,3521:51 AM – Jan 11, 2020Twitter Ads info and privacy372 people are talking about this

Abby Martin✔@AbbyMartinReplying to @AbbyMartin and 4 othersThis censorship of my talk based on forced compliance to anti-BDS laws in Georgia is just one level of a nationwide campaign to protect Israel from grassroots pressure. We must stand firmly opposed to these efforts and not cower in fear to these blatant violations of free speech.1,3112:04 AM – Jan 11, 2020Twitter Ads info and privacy413 people are talking about this
President Trump in early December gave a speech at Sheldon Adelson’s Israeli American Council on Dec 7 insisting Americans must “love Israel.”

The Hill✔@thehillTrump: “We have to get the people of our country, of this country, to love Israel more, I have to tell you that. We have to do it. We have to get them to love Israel more. Because you have people that are Jewish people that are great people — they don’t love Israel enough.”2,3982:12 AM – Dec 8, 2019Twitter Ads info and privacy3,274 people are talking about this
Days later, he signed an executive order to punish critics of Israel on college campuses.

Incidentally, around three weeks later the Trump administration worked with Israeli intelligence to assassinate Israel’s number one enemy, Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani and tried but failed to assassinate another top figure of Iran’s Quds Force while he was in Yemen, Abdul Reza Shahlai.

What’s next?

Courts across America have ruled repeatedly that anti-BDS laws are blatantly unconstitutional and clear violations of the First Amendment but such laws are being passed and enforced throughout the country — First Amendment be damned.
