A) My student government certainly didn’t have a budget worthy of boycotting anything.

B) Do it anyway. Boycotts are speech, you’re in California, and students aren’t obligated to do anything because the school would prefer it. Hell, do it because they told you not to.

C) Don’t boycott a specific country. Boycott all countries found to be plausibly engaging in genocide. Or all countries currently occupying extraterritorial land. Or all countries currently engaged in large scale offensive military operations. Give an exception for the US of A because you’re so patriotic. Israel is in a small club of rogue nations and we don’t generally do business with them.

This is quite a good representation of how western democracies work. You can have petty fights about useless subjects and change laws that affect the plebs, but you can’t enact any laws that challenge capitalist interests

Protest and boycott harder. If the authorities don’t like. It’s probably the right thing to do

I genuinely don’t understand how this is supposed to work. Do they have to buy something from Israel every month or so to avoid punishment? Like if you don’t need to buy anything from Israel, it’s functionally the same as refusing to buy anything from Israel.

It’s not a boycott, we’re just allergic to fucking genocide.

Israel controls Western governments but the US is in a league of it’s own
