Imagine being sad enough to do this with everything you buy, as if you’re actually going to make a difference to anything.
I can just about guarantee that most of your day to day life is influenced by what people did in the past in regards to protests. Could be as huge as in civil war or smaller local protest to combat small issues. Your rights and comforts have been written in the blood of those who preceded you. Sometimes metaphorically, sometimes very real blood.
Protesting helps and did help.
I think you haven’t watched the news about the boycotts on for example; Starbucks and Mcdonalds. Also about Samsung leaving Israel
Boycotts work.
Not always and not all the time. One only has to look at the many rightwing outrage, astroturf boycotts.
Imagine being sad and cynical enough to do this kind of comment. And if it's not "actually going to make a difference", why Israel want it banned?
ok

Uh... There's a reason Israel hates BDS's guts and that's not because it doesn't work.
