How can countries prevent people who support Palestinians from Boycotting Israeli goods? It seems just as futile as laws against not hiring a disabled person, for any customer can just make up another excuse, such as Kosher allergy or thinking that Puma clothes are made from actual Pumas. Should people be required by law to spend a minimum amount on Israeli goods, unless they want to wear a symbol on their arm and be taken by train to a camp teaching them which brands to buy?

If politicians could just speak frankly with Israel about what happens in Palestine instead of sidestepping the problem with excluding normalization, regular people on the left would not feel forced to put sanctions on people who just happened to live in Israel.
