1. I'm personally not in favor of a cultural boycott of Israel.

A cultural boycott of Israel is too vague and there are things and people Israeli who don't really deserve to be boycotted. Besides, it's a slippery slope towards anti-Semitism, and I'm strongly opposed to all expressions of anti-Semitism, even when done by mistake.

I can't see anything wrong with artists choosing not to perform in Israel - that's really up to them. But taking it a few steps further by going after artists and performers mainly because they're Jewish?

Nope.
