    Their rationale :

    We focus our boycotts on a small number of companies and products for maximum impact. We focus on companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where we think we can have an impact.

    I’m sympathetic to this rationale. If you actually want a mass of people to participate in a boycott, it can’t be a laundry list of products.

      yeah, consumer boycotts have very little leverage. you need a huge amount of people to know and care and change their behavior to make a blip and for the business to not think it’s from some other reason.
