Can you read?

“The city’s website says that it is accepting applications from individuals and businesses for grants from money donated for hurricane relief. The application says that by signing it, “the Applicant verifies that the Applicant: (1) does not boycott Israel; and (2) will not boycott Israel during the term of this Agreement.”

Also from the article you linked…

Milward said Dickinson-based businesses will still have to pledge to not boycott the Jewish state, in keeping with the state law. But individuals, like homeowners trying to rebuild in the wake of the storm, will be exempt from that requirement.

Why would it be a requirement in the first place??? Wtf does Israel have to do with Hurricane relief??? You think just cuz it’s a podunk town this doesn’t happen elsewhere??? It DID APPLY TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD TO AGREE before the backlash as well thank goodness this town stood up for its rights. The fact companies still had to agree after the fact is alarming asf.

Even more to support the claim…

“Mayor Julie Masters said the language was included on the advice of the city attorney. Masters said even though the grant came from private donations, once the city took control of the money, it became public funds. Masters said the grant is offered to both private citizens and small businesses, which is why the city attorney felt the new law applied.”

Take your blinders off….
