The most un-American thing I've ever read:
"U.S. states and cities that boycott Israeli companies will be denied federal aid for natural disaster preparedness, the Trump administration has announced, tying routine federal funding to its political stance."
To me, this is largely a free speech issue. ...
Apparently they have since removed this provision, due to my protests, and changed the story to reflect that. ...
