How do I boycott Israel in the first place? Not booking my next vacation there? Do I get 20 years in prison for that?
The best I have managed to do is not buying some hand tools from a company based there. I'm sure they are really missing that $100, lol.
It seems like theatre. How will you ever prove that I chose Burger King over McDonalds for political reasons?
Serious answer, that's not ever what would get prosecuted. What would get you prosecuted in your scenario is e.g. sending a memo to the network of malls you operate saying "do not renew or accept new leases from McDonalds", or to the accounts department of your company saying "do not accept any staff expense claim receipts from McDonalds".
(I'm not supporting the bill by the way, just answering your question at face value)
I don't eat meat. BK has Impossible burgers and McD's doesn't. Of course they've been coming after synthetic meat too in some places. They're throwing a fit because a single-digit % of the population had the audacity to opt out of eating meat derived from animals.
I am not vegan or vegetarian, but I still prefer Impossible burgers (and Impossible chicken patties) and Beyond Steak bites. Not only does it at least significantly reduce my meat consumption, it is generally better than the real meat, since it doesn't have any weird bits and is lower in bad cholesterol. Also, it makes it so the meat I do eat can be sourced more ethically (buying direct from the rancher, hunting and fishing my own for subsistence, getting free range eggs especially from locals) instead of getting the final product and just ignoring what torture went into it.

Whatever the legal status of officially boycotting Isreal, there's still no law against just incidentally not doing business with the companies.
Before someone says they can't avoid some of these: OK, then boycott the other ones.
Whatever sand you have to throw, throw it in the gears of genocide. Don't just do nothing.
The Constitution says there's also no law against actively and loudly not doing business with the companies

They make a surprising amount of things. I noticed a woodworking tool I have was made in Israel. Never expected that.
I have a plastic table I use for woodworking and general carpentry that I later found out might be made in Israel, the brand is Keter. I see they sell lots of outdoor storage solutions locally as well, will avoid that brand in the future. Out of interest, what did you buy so I know what to look out for?
Well, I can think of at least one famous Jewish carpenter.
Nailed it!
You can cross that one off your list
For now; it'll be back in a few days.
A Bosch router bit
Man, that sucks. I have lots of Bosch tools, although my router stuff is mostly other brands. Thanks for the tip, will be on the lookout.
It's been a while since I dealt with my favourite maker of totally legit Diesel ECUs that absolutely have no cheat function built in, what are they up to now?
