The legislation [SB-86 and H-0527], designed to prevent Florida from investing in or doing business with companies participating in boycotts of Israel, was overwhelming supported in both houses of the legislature, with the House voting 112-2 and the Senate approving the measure unanimously. At Jewish Journal press time, the bill is pending Florida Gov. Rick Scott's signature.
So let me make it clear ANY COMPANY including Walt Disney World and Resorts can not boycott Israel or Israelis for any reason.However there is a fine line here. Since Disney is a Corporation the Corporation is not an individual and can not be viewed as Anti Semitic. BUT the ones , the indivduals who run Disney can be, Therefore the Disney Representives who are making anti Semitic remarks, discriminating against a people , a country because it is Israel are Anti Semities. What I am saying the Corporation in California which is run by a Jewish CEO Robert A. Iger is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company has no clue what his company is doing to the Jewish empolyees ie refusing them Jewish Holidays , forcing them to wear religious costumes pretaining to Christmas and Halloween. Forcing Jewish employees to listen to Christian Music during the days of a private party called the Night of Joy which is always during the High Holidays. And forcing Jewish employees to listen to people who say to them you should convert to Christianity, The Lord is Jesus , You are going to hell because you are not accepting Jesus.
This law below and above add crediblity to all filings with the EECO and the Florida Council on Human Relations Complaints filed. The problem with filing a complaint it is rarely heard in Court because there is a mediation where HUSH money is offered and you agree to leave the company. At that point the problem is swept under the Mickey rug.
According to the State Department of the United States of America... the definition of Anti Semitsim is as follows,
Defining Anti-Semitism
Fact Sheet
SPECIAL ENVOY TO MONITOR AND COMBAT ANTI-SEMITISM

"Anti-Semitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities." --Working Definition of Anti-Semitism by the European Monitoring Center on Racism and Xenophobia
Contemporary Examples of Anti-Semitism
- Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews (often in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion).
- Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as a collective—especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.
- Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, the state of Israel, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.
- Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.
- Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interest of their own nations.
What is Anti-Semitism Relative to Israel?
EXAMPLES of the ways in which anti-Semitism manifests itself with regard to the state of Israel, taking into account the overall context could include:DEMONIZE ISRAEL:
- Using the symbols and images associated with classic anti-Semitism to characterize Israel or Israelis
- Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis
- Blaming Israel for all inter-religious or political tensions
- Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation
- Multilateral organizations focusing on Israel only for peace or human rights investigations
- Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, and denying Israel the right to exist
According to the article below if you read it through Disney allows Halah Meats in their restarurants in Hong Kong. They allow it in EPCOT at Moroco They do not have an Israeli Restarurant nor a country pavilion nor a food station called Israel, Demand Israeli Foods Demand Disney to Stop Boycotting Israel/
Do you realy want to support Halah Meats which is Shariah?
McDonald's, KFC and Pizza Hut say no to request to offer halal meat
McDonald's, KFC and Pizza Hut say no to imam's request to offer Islamic-certified meat, despite his claim it would be shrewd business

Mufti Muhammad Arshad
Hong Kong's three biggest fast-food chains have rejected a call by Hong Kong's chief imam to offer halal meat in their restaurants.
Mufti Muhammad Arshad contacted McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and Pizza Hut to request that they use halal meat in some of their outlets. He said it would not only be good for Hong Kong's Muslims, but also a shrewd business move.
Halal is an Arabic word that means "permissible". Halal meat comes from an animal slaughtered according to Islamic law. That means Allah's (God's) name must be pronounced during slaughter, the instrument used must be very sharp to ensure humane slaughter (the animal must be slit at the throat), the animal must not be unconscious, and it must be hung upside down and allowed to bleed dry.
Eating blood is not halal. Pork is not halal, nor are certain cuts of meat, such as from an animal's hindquarters.
Arshad said he sent letters to the fast-food chains, but McDonald's, KFC and Pizza Hut all said that they had no plans to introduce halal meat in their outlets. But Arshad said it would be only a matter of time before they signed up, as McDonald's and KFC served halal food in other Asian markets, such as Singapore.
Halal certification of restaurants began in Singapore in the mid-1990s. Singaporean food blogger Daniel Ang says that the likes of Le Steak, a new halal steakhouse in the Jalan Kayu district, has been "packing the crowds in" at the weekends. In Hong Kong there are already halal outlets at Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park.
"It's disappointing that we could not convince the companies," Arshad said. "It doesn't have to be Hong Kong-wide. In the main areas, like Central, Wan Chai, Tsim Sha Tsui, the New Territories and at the airport, it would be a great service. The companies have to realise there is a need for this and that it is good business for them."
Tourism sector lawmaker Paul Tse Wai-chun said he would welcome anything that would increase the diversity of Hong Kong and cater for people from different religious backgrounds. He said it would also be good for local businesses.
"The government has been trying to promote Islamic investment here, so the move would be beneficial to tourism in Hong Kong and our financial market," Tse said. "It's also a chance to attract tourists from Muslim countries to Hong Kong. We're showing that we are catering for them."
There are about 250,000 Muslims in Hong Kong, more than half of whom are Chinese. The rest are either locally born non-Chinese or are from Pakistan, India, Malaysia, Indonesia and Middle Eastern and African countries. In recent years, the biggest segment of Muslims in the territory have been Indonesians. Mostly female domestic workers, they account for almost half of Hong Kong's Muslim population - 120,000 people.
Arshad said that more than 50 restaurants served halal meat in Hong Kong. The meat is checked as being halal-certified in the country from which it is imported by Arshad and his staff.
"We double-check that a certified Muslim organisation has imported the meat and that the animal has been slaughtered according to Islamic rites," he said. "If we are satisfied that everything is in order, then we will issue a local halal certificate to let restaurants know that everything is fine."
