No Americans are going to go to jail for any reason related to this. That's what I'm saying. Why would a federal contractor, who probably became a federal contractor because they weren't in opposition to Israel, who also will be required in most of their contracts to continue fulfilling their contracts without regard to Israel (or even have it explicitly noted that they can't be in opposition to Israel in order to get the contract), suddenly turn around and break their contract with the feds explicitly stating that it was done for following the UN Human Rights council's guidance?
There is no reason to do that. It's not going to happen.
What the anti-Israel crowd always pretends this means is that I can't refuse to buy bagels from Israel or I'll go to federal prison. That's never the case.
Margarine, you were not personally arrested by the feds for boycotting Israel.
And to be clear, I'm not talking about employees, I'm talking about the companies that are federal contractors. If you decided to stop doing your job at your company, while already having been tasked with federal work, the issue wouldn't be whether or not you violated the law. The issue would be how quickly you would be fired for choosing not to do your job.

This is hilarious for all the wrong reasons. You've clearly not spent any time in the federal contracting space. There is a reason a bunch of my buddies and I who work in federal contracting are all rooting for DOGE.
Years ago on a different role than the one I work now, we had a white board in our room and on it we kept a running list of all the wild shit you could do at the department and not get fired. It ranged all the way from minor insubordination to adultery all the way to criminal behavior. I sometimes wish I still had that list for reference because it was absolutely nuts and we would not have believed all the stuff that ended up on it if we hadn't all witnessed it ourselves.
Giz, it ain't a nothing burger for Americans of any kind not going to jail for opposing any fuckin foreign state for any reason.
Yes, that was the foot in he door that all Americans got fucked...
