        I was actually reading this wikipedia page earlier after posting and it seemed like these Anti-BDS laws only apply to government offices and government contractors

        Most anti-BDS laws have taken one of two forms: contract-focused laws requiring government contractors to promise that they are not boycotting Israel; and investment-focused laws, mandating public investment funds to avoid entities boycotting Israel.

        A broad law mandating that the public at large can’t not buy certain products, or can’t ask others to do the same would be unenforceable I would think – though I’m not going to doubt the Roberts Court ability to find some way to make something that absurd law if asked by their king…

      I don’t even understand how a boycott would be illegal. It’s illegal to not buy products from a certain company? How can you tell if a person is not buying because they’re boycotting or because they never had the intention of buying in the first place?
