  • What a lot of absolute boot licking nonsense.

    Israel are currently conducting genocide and have invaded both Lebanon and Syria committing a huge number of war crimes along the way. There is absolutely no reason to be doing business of any kind with them.

    The USA is currently acting like a bully towards their neighbors Canada and Mexico and in fact further to panama, greenland , NATO and let’s face it the entire world including making unjustified claims against territory held by Panama, Mexico, and Denmark and is plotting to invade both Mexico and Canada by force.

    It’s increasingly likely the USA will need to be repelled by force at some point in the future and there is only position in that conflict we can justifiably take.

    Saying we should trade with anyone, regardless of other politics, is to turn a blind eye to some absolutely abhorrent behaviour by a number of nations such as the United States, Israel, UK, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, France and Germany.


  • That last bit is the loophole you can drive a train through. A reporter can indeed be charged with “acting for a foreign state”. That is vague enough to cover anybody who reports about anything

    Of course it will be selectively enforced so that you could be silenced or jailed for reporting on a massacre in the west bank but an actual Israeli citizen setting up a lobbying effort to give political donations to parties or candidates will not be charged with anything.

    We already have Israelis, US, and UK based think tanks and lobbyists working here. None of them will touched but you can bet your ass any arab or chinese advocate will be shut down.
