U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is among the Republican voices to oppose a new measure sponsored by a fellow GOP Congressman.
Republican Congressman Mike Lawler, of New York, along with Congressman Josh Gottheimer in January reintroduced the bipartisan IGO Anti-Boycott Act which they said “stops international governmental organizations from discriminating against Israel.”

Greene also shared an image claiming that Lawler’s bill contains “prison sentence up to 20 years” for “Americans participating in boycotts of Israel.”
“I will be voting NO. It is my job to defend American’s rights to buy or boycott whomever they choose without the government harshly fining them or imprisoning them,” she wrote. “But what I don’t understand is why we are voting on a bill on behalf of other countries and not the President’s executive orders that are FOR OUR COUNTRY???”
Former Congressman Matt Gaetz didn’t hold back either:
“MTG is making a quality point. If this bill becomes law, how many Israeli products do I need in my home to avoid fines or prison? If I leave an Israeli-made product outside my home, is it the 2025 version of lambs blood that keeps my family safe?” Gaetz wrote.
