You still can and should boycott Israel, even without a business. It makes no sense to support those who hijack your country's policies for endless Middle East wars while masquerade as your greatest ally.
How can I as a consumer boycott Israel? It's not as simple as "Don't buy this brand of toilet paper." Israeli companies are mostly high tech outfits integrated into society at a very high level. It's not like I can avoid going to a hospital because they own an ultrasound machine bought from an Israeli company. I'd bet every single hospital in the country has Israeli equipment. Same with telecom. There isn't an Israeli Verizon I can avoid, but rather Israeli companies make components that go into every smart phone and satellite. You can't avoid them without living in the woods and boycotting the whole world. Correct me if I'm mistaken.
You're mostly right. This isn't as simple as boycotting Colombian coffee, for example. Some examples I can think of though
- diamonds
- tourism to Israel
- bs Dead Sea salts and beauty products sold at the mall
Fuck this shit. I wish I owned a business that could feasibly buy anything Israeli so I could boycott them for the sole purpose of contributing to the backfire of this strong-arm horseshit. As much as I hate the idiotic, hypocritical Anti-Semites at Voat, I definitely revile the nation-state of Israel and the shifty foreign lobbies that dictate policy in my fucking country.
