I don't disagree, but my point was more that their lobby is disproportionately powerful enough to draw attention. If people started boycotting Poland there's roughly a zero percent chance we'd see any states pass a law just for them, let alone in nearly every state. I'm not saying that Israel isn't special just that a critical look at their lobby is justified and it's not just people being mean to Israel.That's not a right cities have, and so when they try to do so, states are entirely within their right to slap them down. Moreover, it's not like you have any cities or universities organizing boycotts of Poland, or Sudan, or China, or really any other country. This is driven entirely by leftist Islamophilia, which in turn grows out of the Marxist brown good/white bad, poor good/rich bad, third world good/first world bad dialectics. Article I, Sec 10 broadly denies to states all kinds of ability to engage in foreign policy as well. It's not to say that states don't skirt that edge frequently, even cross the line, but a state engaging in BDS toward Israel could very well be construed as violating I.10 powers reserved exclusively to Congress.
