I don't think it's about power, so much as gall.

In January, Shurat HaDin filed a lawsuit on behalf of Shoshana Steinbach, Ayelet Wertzel and Ahuva Frogel. The three all purchased tickets to see Lorde, and were refunded when the show was canceled. The suit demanded NIS 15,000 in damages for each of the teenagers, claiming that their “artistic welfare” was harmed as was their leisure time, “and above all damage to their good name as Israelis and Jews.” The lawsuit said that Lorde’s response on Twitter to the letter Sachs and Abu-Shanab penned showed a direct connection to the concert cancellation.
Fohrer ruled that in addition to the NIS 45,000, the activists should also pay close to NIS 11,000 in legal fees.

it's pure power
they got a new 2011 civil law
that allows them to punish anyone that dares to boycott
their jazz club
Not very powerful... It happens with smaller counties at times as well. Its not even a big deal.
```
The lawsuit cited the controversial 2011 Israeli Anti-Boycott Law, which allows for civil suits against entities who call for a boycott of the state. Critics have said the law serves to stifle free expression, while others support its tough stance on anti-Israel activism.
“This is a precedent-setting ruling according to the Boycott Law,” Darshan-Leitner said Thursday. “This decision makes it clear that anyone who calls for a boycott against the State of Israel could find themselves liable for damages and need to pay compensation to those hurt by the boycott call, if they’re in Israel or outside it.”
Asked how the court intended to enforce its ruling, Darshan-Leitner said that Israel and New Zealand have legal agreements that will allow the court to pursue the damages.
“We will enforce this ruling in New Zealand, and go after their bank accounts until it has been fully realized,” Darshan-Leitner said.

fucking lmao
>if they're in israel or outside it
>outside it

A spokesperson for the New Zealand ministry of foreign affairs said it would be up to New Zealand’s courts to decide whether the claim for damages was enforceable. Legal experts said it would not not be automatic and a new case would have to be launched in a New Zealand court seeking an enforcement of Israel’s ruling.

>new zealand capitulates
@Cohencidence Detector dude what the fuck.
I’m generally pretty pro Israel but this is dumb. Also how do you sue someone in another country? That doesn’t make sense but if anyone can do it it’s a nation of lawyers
It happens all the time.
Has it happened 6 million times?
Maybe, i didn't keep track of all that jazz.
Stop noticing please
I think they might be able to sue whatever company organizes Lordes concerts if they do other business in Israel
The lawsuit even assuming they can sue sounds pretty BS on it's own
They're basically saying teenage girls have a right to go to Lorde concerts
That's like saying you have the right to a wedding cake... oh wait...
Many lawsuits don't look to get anything done really, just attempt to make others worry about taking that course of action again in the future (even lawsuits internationally).
My fav mayday pic so far abolish work. https://twitter.com/mrandyngo/status/1123899339691188225?s=21
Is abolish work a boy or girl? Waaay too ugly to tell.
"abolish work" is definitely male and the other is probably also male
They're both probably male. Just always assume male until you can prove otherwise
I've never heard of this person
There also a lot of "I once greeted this person" as a way to try an smear other people
¿Buzzfeed? Please excuse my doubts about the story.
In it's entirety.
"Hey look kids, see all the evil that comes from having fun on the internet, you should be like this person and get out now"
She must have heard that phrase for the first time and really wanted to use it
When was the last time Trump even mentioned Hillary?
I really shouldn't be surprised, but damn
