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 (hexbear.net)

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.

Is that actually legal? Tenant rights (and anti-BDS legislation) vary state to state, but this seems particularly egregious.

Honestly I haven’t done the investigation to say. It very well could be an unenforceable part of their lease. But the south is notorious for insane anti-tenant legislation so I wouldn’t be surprised. My state famously banned the passing of rent control legislation so good luck running your local socialist candidate for mayor they can’t do anything even if they win
