Sabrah Hummus's parent company has ties to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). People who are against Israel's actions in Gaza boycott any company or product which is even remotely tied to the Israeli government to put pressure on them and to avoid giving them any money.
Increasingly, in the United States, state governments and the federal government have been imposing laws against the BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) movement, such as Texas, which passed a law banning state contractors from supporting the BDS movement. For more of these laws, see this Wikipedia article
The joke, therefore, is that the government's Anti-BDS laws are becoming more and more radical, going from regulating how state employees and contractors engage in political speech to regulating how every day Americans, college students, immigrants with visas, etc. engage in political speech. By 2030, the meme is saying, Anti-BDS laws will have gone so far as to execute people for choosing to buy hummus from a non-Israeli company
Thanks Petah.
