    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

      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.
