The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article is related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this article:
You must be logged-in and extended-confirmed to edit or discuss this topic on any page (except for making edit requests, provided they are not disruptive)
You may not make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any edits related to this topic
The exceptions to the extended confirmed restriction are:
Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace only to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive.
Non-extended-confirmed editors may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by non-extended-confirmed editors is permitted but not required.
With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:
Clear vandalism of whatever origin may be reverted without restriction. Also, reverts made solely to enforce the extended confirmed restriction are not considered edit warring.
Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offence.
This article appears to be corrupted with extensive subjective content (possibly on both sides of the issue, or multiple sides), not sourced-and-documented (lacking appropriate reference citations).
For instance, I just deleted this unsourced statement:
"The settlements, have been built on land which Israel captured during the 1976 war is in violation of international law. The Israel Anti-Boycott Act widens the attempt to silence one side of the debate which is not in the interest of Israel, the United States, or both of their democratic traditions."
These are utterly subjective remarks -- valid or not -- and utterly inappropriate for Wikipedia, as indicated in WP:NPOV
Someone needs to go through this very troubled article, and clean it up. Likely, much of the material (on all sides of the issue) should be removed because it is un-sourced, speculative and/or subjective commentary -- and, in many cases, seemingly redundant or spurious.
Examples include the frequent speculative comments about expected pending legislation, which seem to reflect an opinion, or a wish, or a fear, but not a documented fact. If it hasn't happened, and there is no documentation of anyone's statement that it will, then this material should be stricken from the article. The editors who inserted such speculative remarks should consider reviewing their other edits, elsewhere, to see if this is a habitual error.
In acknowledgement of the critique [original research?], I also deleted this un-sourced subjective commentary from the end of the "Combatting BDS Act" section:
"The fact that different organizations associated with anti-discrimination and protection of rights and liberties can be split on the issue of BDS exemplifies what a hot-button issue this is and how divisive it can be."
The assumption that the BDS movement is "anti-Semitic" or that support for BDS is in itself anti-Semitism is hugely subjective and as importantly hugely faulty. There shouldn't be a link to anti-Semitism here, nor should it be added to the page on BDS under any circumstances.

Not sure if anyone has this article on their watchlist.. I've been "poaching" content from this article which I'm moving to Anti-BDS laws which is a new article I have started. I think this article, Israel Anti-Boycott Act, should only contain content that is directly related to the act itself. ImTheIP (talk) 23:49, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any evidence supporting the claim the act would've made it a "federal crime, punishable by a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment, for American citizens to encourage" boycotts against Israel. HolyJabronie (talk) 04:24, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
