funding Israel violates the separation of church and state.

You don't even need to go that far. These anti-BDS laws are clearly against the constitution and get struck down without issue. The real problem is that it's much easier to create these BS laws and put them on the books than it is to repeal them, because repealing them requires court challenges, lawsuits, and then these supporters go and make alterations to the law to meet the criteria of the challenges and ram them through again. Then we go through this whole cycle all over again. To solve this problem, you really need to go after the public officials that are being pushed to pass this garbage by consistently holding their feet to the fire and not tolerating this with punishments of losing their elections. The country is shifting towards that, but there's so much BS going on elsewhere that this takes a back burner in people's minds.
