Not quite illegal, but some US states have made it so you can’t do business with the state if you boycott Israeli companies and goods. I’m not sure how they enforce it. Your overall point is right though; they hate it because it works.
It’s a contactual term when you do business with the state. You need to sign a contract attachment confirming that you are not boycotting Israel, and if you violate it then you would be found in breach of contract.
Not all states have it but I’ve seen it repeatedly in my contract work with state governments.
I wrote mine during the Sheikh Jarrah incidents and got nothing but lip service. Guess how my reps voted since then? Once they’re elected they don’t need you anymore. Peace is a fringe position, and all you can do is not vote for them again.
I guess you can write your representative and senator. I don’t know how well that works but it’s better than nothing I guess.
Also not exactly what you’re asking for but BDS is a thing.
Didn’t 🇺🇸 make it illegal to boycott Israeli products and companies for that very reason? Because BDS is one of the few things that work

I hate to break it to you, but they don’t actually work for you. It’s the best democracy money can buy.
Then BDS I guess.
