            In all fairness that only works until it doesn’t. Get arrested at such a rally? Fired for cause, violation of your pledge and barred from future employment with the state. Someone, a co-worker, a member of the public, one of the many zionist doxxing orgs screenshots your social media criticism of zionists and support for Palestine and sends it in? Believe it or not absolutely fired and barred from future employment.

              This hypothetical person may also vulnerable to fraud charges in the amount of their gross wages from the date they signed the anti BDS affidavit. Every person’s risk tolerance is different of course
