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.

They probably figure it's extremely unlikely to come up. Unless you have:

  1. A tenant who boycotts Israel
  2. And tells their landlord about it
  3. And the landlord wants to get rid of them
  4. And the landlord can't come up with a more conventional excuse
  5. And the tenant knows their rights and has the resources to fight

Nobody would likely challenge it.
