It’s really that simple

I guess its hard to appreciate the significance of someone giving up money for a moral stance when you're unemployed and still live with your parents.

What even are you arguing here?

Is Ms Rachel wrong for doing this?

She is literally talking about how she is going to lose partnerships, Macklemore literally lost his tour for saying it. It is the opposite of "safe" for them to talk about it

It's literally illegal to not send state and city taxes to Israel in Texas...

https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-condemns-city-of-san-marcos-antisemitic-resolution

"The proposed Resolution seems calculated to violate this law by calling for San Marcos to limit its commercial relations with Israel. Specifically, the Resolution identifies “$4,434,675 [that] came from San Marcos residents’ taxes” that was sent to Israel. It then calls for the “reallocation of [such] local funds” away from “Israel’s military” and “towards essential domestic priorities.” It is difficult to believe that a city so carefully accounting for every dollar flowing to Israel and determined to “reallocate” those funds in a self-described “Embargo” on our ally is, at the same time, requiring written verification from its contracting partners that they will not boycott Israel. This public expression of a desire to do what state law prohibits is unacceptable.

Whenever San Marcos enters into grant agreements with my office, it is required to certify that it will comply with all state laws, including laws prohibiting government support for boycotts of Israel. My office is already reviewing active grants with San Marcos to determine whether the City has breached terms by falsely certifying compliance with Texas law. If the City Council adopts this Resolution, the Office of the Governor will not enter into any future grant agreements with the City and will act swiftly to terminate active grants for non-compliance. I will further direct all other state agencies to review agreements with the City for possible breach"

Governor Greg Abbott is literally stating that he will pull state funding if the city of San Marcos stops sending tax payer money to Israel.

So it's actually not "100% safe to speak against Israel in the court of public opinion".

You know damn well you'd have been all "stay in your lane" with the Dixie Chicks and Bush.

Sure, tell yourself that.

I doubt you're human in any meaningful sense.

Guess people should all just sit down and shut up then, according to you, since they didn’t speak up about some other thing that you’re virtue signaling about.
