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.

Honestly I haven’t done the investigation to say. It very well could be an unenforceable part of their lease. But the south is notorious for insane anti-tenant legislation so I wouldn’t be surprised. My state famously banned the passing of rent control legislation so good luck running your local socialist candidate for mayor they can’t do anything even if they win

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.

One state (Arkansas) has a law that a rental doesn't even have to be livable, so I believe this. Like literally,in Arkansas, you could rent a unit that has not heat, running water, or roof. And if you sign the lease, you have to pay
