Here, BTW, is something Rep. Omar is referring to with regards to Israel:

Airbnb is the Latest Target of Texas’ Anti-BDS Crusade:

Texas has blacklisted an American company for, as the state sees it, opposing Israel. Using the power of its purse, Texas is sanctioning Airbnb for purportedly ceding to pressure from activists with the boycott, divest and sanction movement that targets Israel for its treatment of Palestinians.

The short-term rental giant announced in November that it would ban the listing of rentals in settlements, which most of the international community view as illegal, in Israel-occupied West Bank.

The Airbnb ban comes a few months after the anti-BDS law prompted free speech lawsuits against the state. A speech pathologist lost her job with the Pflugerville Independent School District when she refused to sign a contract affirming that she would not boycott Israel. She filed a lawsuit against the district and the state. Soon thereafter, the ACLU filed a lawsuit on behalf of four Texans who are arguing that the law violates their First Amendment rights.

Guess which PAC that advocates for Israel supported the federal bill that would punish US companies for boycotting Israel?
