It’s more about preventing people from actively taking part in the BDS movement than the specifics of a boycott. The goal is to dissuade people from vocally supporting Palestine and from taking part in activism efforts

yeonmi-park in America you are forced to buy products from a genocidal regime even if you don't need it. My family hates carbonated drinks but we were forced at gunpoint to buy SodaStream™. We now have 18 soda streams and more grainy hummus than we could ever eat
