The Democrat stronghold and seat of power, New York, prohibits any organization boycotting Israel from receiving State contracts or funding. Cuomo was pushing for a redefinition of antisemitism to include opposition to Israel's actions.

When it comes to military activity and foreign financial interests neither will put up with public dissent. The tide on this specific issue seems to be turning, but their genocide defense will no doubt fuel a rise in antisemitism that will hurt jewish people worldwide for decades to come.
