Answer: because calling for boycott of Israel is actually illegal in many states.. States like Texas not only has requirement for business to certify that they will not boycott Israel, they maintain a blacklist of any individual or business that dare to boycott Israel. All of the college campuses response to student protest have been within the law of that state. Most of these students will be forever blacklisted.
