MAGA Reacts After Donald Trump Warns States Over Israel Boycotts - Newsweek
August 5, 2025 - An updated document posted after Reuters and Newsweek reported on the notices showed that language about boycotting Israeli companies had been removed.

They marked the Trump administration's latest move to leverage federal funding to advance its stance on Israel but also sparked sharp scrutiny from many Trump supporters.

Israel Anti-Boycott Act Mirrors Trump Era Despotism | Institute for Palestine Studies
This legislation draws its inspiration from the GOP platform, which at the Trump campaign’s insistence, falsely defined the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) campaign for Palestinian rights as “anti-Semitic in nature” and claimed that it seeks “to destroy Israel.” The platform also called “for effective legislation to thwart” BDS and thereby impinge upon Americans’ First Amendment protected right to advocate for and organize boycotts.

In their own telling, they are motivated by a desire to resolve a glaring contradiction between Trump’s “America First” philosophy and the U.S.’s ongoing support for Israel.
