Further To The Further on the Anti-Boycott Law

I posted earlier a "further to" item on the new anti-boycott law the left is trying to roll back.

Well, here's MK Yariv Levin explaining (k/t=StevePlaut):

The only undemocratic aspect of Boycott Law is opposition’s attempt to thwart it.  The other day we thwarted an attempted legal putsch aimed at trampling the Knesset’s sovereignty in favor of the political considerations of a national minority. The deceptive scaremongering campaign against the Boycott Law, undertaken while ignoring the legislation’s clear instructions and justified aim, was met with the firm stand of Knesset members. We voted in favor of the law and safeguarded democracy.

...the law entrenches the right of each one of us to receive proper compensation for damages incurred as result of being boycotted only because of one’s area of residence or workplace. The law prevents those who call for boycotts against Israel and its citizens from reaching into the public coffers and receiving funding at the expense of tax funds paid by the very citizens facing the boycott.

The law draws a clear line between a legitimate political debate and the exploitation of Israeli democracy in order to undermine the State’s sovereignty, its economy or its academic institutions..The attempt to prevent the affirmation of the Boycott Law yet again proved the need to facilitate genuine change in our legal establishment – a change that will bring the Jewish and Zionist character back into this system.
