I think it would be really interesting to see where real challenges to this law go. Sometimes the best thing in the world is that your opponents pass some new law. The reason is that even though the law is passed, the practicalities of enforcing can be a real drag for the people who created the law.
For instance what if a big boycott Israel informational march and demonstration was put together. Would the authorities in texas really arrest large swathes of their people and jail them? If they fine everyone, what are they gonna do is 10k people refuse to pay?
Another tact, find some terrible thing Israel did, and then march demanding that the Israelis be embargoed for whatever the thing was.
Basically when government is high handed the thing to do isn't to wring your hands and wag your finger about it. The thing to do is test their resolve. Push them into doing something that makes them look stupid and weak. It's actually pretty easy to do.
What is gonna make me think these texans are lickspittle is if they don't do something about this.

so where the hell is the Lone Ranger? And Tonto?

I read someplace that Tonto means fool. Anyway I dunno.. Frankly even Hank Hill would be better than the lot they got now. He'd kick someone's ass.
