When the IDF is shelling hospitals, schools and places that are supposed to be UN protected areas is it really anti-Semitic to suggest boycotting Israeli products in protest of the actions the Israelis are taking in Gaza? When the IDF takes out the power generation plant and the water treatment plant in Gaza leaving the Palestinians without electricity or clean water is it really anti-Semitic to suggest boycotting Israeli products for that?

Seems to me it's the same as people have done to other countries that had terrible human rights records.
