To give a sense of how integrated the Israeli lobby is into US law and society, two of my friends have an anti-BDS clause baked into their lease. They could legally be evicted for boycotting Israel

And I can’t even imagine it’s an intentional addition, it’s just become part of boiler plate legal documents here in the deep south.

It’s more about preventing people from actively taking part in the BDS movement than the specifics of a boycott. The goal is to dissuade people from vocally supporting Palestine and from taking part in activism efforts

in America you are forced to buy products from a genocidal regime even if you don’t need it. My family hates carbonated drinks but we were forced at gunpoint to buy SodaStream™. We now have 18 soda streams and more grainy hummus than we could ever eat
