Sharon Wrobel reports in The Algemeiner that “US Representatives Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and five other Democrats have called for the US Treasury to stop granting tax exemptions to American charitable organizations active in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem.” Once the government gets in the act, it’s going to start looking at all charitable organizations, sweeping in BDS activities as well.
I am sure that Squad members Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, Pressley, along with Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, believe sacrifices must be made for the Cause, as long as others make the sacrifices. I cannot give legal advice, but I suspect that it is civilly and perhaps even criminally unlawful to use the Internal Revenue Service, or any other Federal agency, to harm somebody with whom you disagree. This means that, were Secretary Yellen to act on this incitement, her career (but not those of the aforementioned Democrats) might be at serious risk.
This is far from an isolated incident when it comes to leftists sacrificing others in their efforts to destroy Israel. Ben & Jerry’s acceded to pressure to end sales of its ice cream in what it calls the Occupied Palestinian Territories and is now losing business wholesale. Numerous states are invoking anti-boycott laws to disqualify the company from doing business with them, while a Forbes article implies a breach of fiduciary duty:
But Unilever has a fiduciary duty to its shareholders. It is now time for Unilever to find ways to terminate that old arrangement that takes Unilever shareholders hostages by Ben & Jerry’s independent board.
I am sure Students for Justice in Palestine and similar entities will fight to the last Unilever stockholder and Ben & Jerry’s employee to make the Middle East Judenrein.

How long until they get their act together enough, and get enough support to petition the UN to rescind the 1948 recognition of Israel, and demand that Israel be dismantled, and its non-Muslim population be expelled? (rolls eyes)
The Squad can call for whatever they want. They can’t change tax laws on their own.
I call them “The Squat”

A few American politicians will not harm Israel. Israel exists everywhere threats to the State exists. The squad gas no room for exposure to corruption, illegal marriages, fraud and will surely fink fricken around with Jews will find themselves beholden to the tiny State or risk political and mortal death.
