No, I won't boycott Israel, not blankly anyway. I don't think it will change anything there because you're only going to force all Israelis to stick together, and the problem is the settlers - those are the people you should be against, and the settlers are holding their entire country hostage by making it seem that if you're against them, then you're against all Jews. The settlers are as bad as the Hamas, but the rest of Israel has earned its right to be there. We should be trying to focus on helping peace-minded people on both sides of the conflict. Anything produced on occupied territory for example, I'd happily boycott that. But it's really important that Israelis see we're not against their country itself. The same goes for Palestinians.
My two cents.
you hate the settlers? why, simply because of where they built there houses? nobody was living there before, otherwise they woulnd have had to built settlements in the first place! how are they as bad as hamas? hamas go around butchering women and children and want to exterminate the jewish people. the settlers want to build a new balcony.
