of political speech and activism against Israel has become
one of the gravest threats to free speech in the West. In

activism. In the U.S., governors compete with one another
over who can implement the most extreme regulations to bar
businesses from participating in any boycotts aimed even
at Israeli settlements, which the world regards as illegal.
