But to expound on that, some US states make people sign a pledge to not participate in BDS if they have a job or even just contract with the state.
It’s incredibly fucked up and few people talk about it.
Inside every major contract Missouri signs with a business sits a clause about boycotting Israel.
All but the smallest companies have to agree not to participate in any movement that aims to boycott, divest from or sanction companies in Israel.
Missouri isn’t alone. At least 36 other states have anti-BDS (boycott, divest or sanction) measures that bar state contractors from refusing to do business in Israel, or otherwise boycotting or divesting from the country or its occupied territories.
I know and I always thought that is bullshit, but making it (for all intends and purposes) illegal to boycot companies from another country is next level. That’s giving away freedoms of your own citizens purely to the advantage of another country. That is insane.
There’s a reason Israel spends so much lobbying money to make boycotting their companies illegal…
There’s a bill passing through the British parliament right now.
Where is boycotting “illegal?”
Someone already linked the Wikipedia article.

That is some dystopian shit, what the fuck.
The American Israeli Public Affairs Committee is one of the largest political lobbies in the United States.

Not the one you asked but I believe in Germany. Not sure though.
At least they certainly condemn and are* against the boycot movement:
Edit: changed “we” to “are”
