                    "Prominent American Zionist commentator and ally of President Donald Trump, Mark Levin has called on nearly 40 US states to retaliate against Britain using controversial anti-BDS laws, raising fresh questions over the willingness of Israel\u2019s most vocal supporters to impose economic and constitutional costs on Americans in defence of a foreign state.\nLevin issued the threat after Britain announced a ban on trade with illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. \u201cSO NOW OUR STATES CAN BOYCOTT THE UK\u201d said Levin on X arguing that states with laws penalising boycotts of Israel should deploy them against British companies complying with the new measures.\n\nSO NOW OUR STATES CAN BOYCOTT THE UK\nClose to 40 states across the U.S. have laws that require ending contracts with and/or divesting from companies that engage in antisemitic boycotts, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) against Israel. These states whose combined GDP is\u2026\n\u2014 Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) September 8, 2026\n\nRepublican Congressman Randy Fine has gone further, explicitly threatening to use Florida law against British companies.\nFine, who helped enact Florida\u2019s anti-BDS legislation while serving in the state legislature, warned that any British company forced to comply with the UK measures could be excluded from doing business with state and local government in Florida.\n\u201cAs the British government considers forcing British companies to boycott portions of Israel,\u201d Fine wrote, the law he sponsored \u201cwould ban any British company forced to comply from doing business with any state or local government in Florida\u201d.\n\nAs the British government considers forcing British companies to boycott portions of Israel, it should be aware that a Florida law that I passed as a member of the Legislature would ban any British company forced to comply from doing business with any state or local government in\u2026\n\u2014 Congressman Randy Fine (@RepFine) September 7, 2026\n\nFine claimed the consequences could extend further, saying British businesses participating in the boycott could also be prevented from operating in Florida where they required official interaction with state or local authorities, including permits or tax arrangements.\n\u201cAny company \u2014 or nation \u2014 that boycotts Israel is boycotted by Florida,\u201d Fine declared.\u00a0\nFine\u2019s comments drew criticism from journalist Glenn Greenwald, who questioned why Florida should risk its own economic interests over a dispute involving Israel.\nREAD: Texas teacher fired for refusing to sign anti-BDS oath\n\u201cWhy would Florida sacrifice its business interests and those of its citizens to benefit Israel? We all know why,\u201d Greenwald wrote on X. In another post, he accused Fine of being prepared to impose costs on Floridians in order to \u201cprotect Israel and punish the UK\u201d.\n\nThis \u201cUS Congressman\u201d vows vengeance against British companies for boycotting products from Israeli occupying the West Bank, announcing: \u201cAny company \u2014 or nation \u2014 that boycotts Israel is boycotted by Florida.\u201d\nWhy would Florida sacrifice its business interests and those of its\u2026 https://t.co/oCLv3oB4uT\n\u2014 Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) September 8, 2026\n\nThe UK is one of Florida\u2019s largest foreign investors. According to figures published by the state, British companies support more than 70,000 jobs in Florida, while hundreds of UK-owned businesses operate across the state. Bilateral trade was valued at $5.8 billion in 2022.\nThe dispute also highlighted the unusually broad scope of Florida\u2019s anti-BDS law. The legislation defines a boycott of Israel as action restricting commercial relations not only with Israel but also with businesses operating in \u201cIsraeli-controlled territories\u201d, a definition that includes illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.\nBritain\u2019s measures, however, are directed specifically at trade with Israeli settlements rather than at Israel as a whole. The UK, along with other governments, maintains that the settlements are illegal under international law.\nLevin referred to \u201cclose to 40 states\u201d with legislation targeting boycotts of Israel. A 2026 study by Indiana University law professor Joseph Tomain identified 38 states with anti-BDS measures, although the laws differ significantly in scope and enforcement.\nIn a number of states, companies seeking government contracts must certify that they are not participating in a boycott of Israel. Other states have adopted provisions allowing public investment funds to divest from companies deemed to be engaged in such boycotts.\nThe pro-Israel anti-BDS measures have faced repeated constitutional challenges over whether governments can condition public contracts on an individual or company\u2019s position towards a political boycott of a foreign state.\nCivil liberties groups have argued that anti-BDS laws infringe First Amendment protections.\nFederal courts have blocked or found constitutional problems with anti-BDS measures in several states, including Kansas, Arizona and Georgia. In the Georgia case involving journalist Abby Martin, a federal judge ruled that requiring her to certify that she was not boycotting Israel as a condition of a university speaking contract violated the First Amendment.\nThe legal position is not uniform. In 2022, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Arkansas\u2019s anti-BDS law, finding that it regulated commercial conduct rather than protected expression. The Supreme Court later declined to hear an appeal, leaving the ruling in place without establishing a nationwide precedent on all anti-BDS laws.\nREAD: \u2018Major victory\u2019 as US federal judge slams anti-BDS laws unconstitutional"
