The anti-BDS rules are, functionally speaking, not even bans on how you engage with the economy. They’re bans on your speech. You can go to Walmart or not. You can buy things or not. What you can’t do is step outside the store and announce “I didn’t purchase a Sodastream specifically because it would profit Israel”.
And, again, going back to Morse v. Frederick and Harisiades v. Shaughnessy and United States v. O’Brien all lay out instances in which the US government can restrict speech. This is just the latest encroachment.
