Then you can't have looked very hard because there's a plethora of boycott movements against Israel.

There's even a Github example:

On the other hand: "Twenty-six states have adopted laws that punish companies that choose to boycott Israel."

BDS is literally a movement by Palestinians directed at their war-enemy next door. That would be like Ukrainians boycotting Russians now. You get the point ...

[ginko]

I don't get your point, actually. Of course the US or Israel won't boycott themselves.

Sure, but let me give you an example of what I mean: "The consensus view of the international community is that Israeli settlements are illegal and constitute a violation of international law." [0]

Yet, have you seen any western govt demand sanctions on the Israeli population for that? Have you seen this guy here demand github be banned for all Israelis? Of course not - and that's just the moral double standards I'm calling out.

There's been plenty of calls within the EU to ban trade of goods made in Israeli settlements. AFAIK the latest news it that the EU courts ruled in favor of a ban.

Afaik, those calls happened multinationally multiple times, being blocked by USA every single time.
