This whole business of blacklisting Israel and then punishing those who blacklist is foolish. There was good intent in my opinion. Israel is an ally of the US and the US will oppose those who punish US companies that deal with Israel. This cycle goes on to an absurd nature resulting in the original post. Bottom line - get rid of the boycott against Israel. If individuals or companies don't want to do business with e.g. France or Israel, then I think that's their right. The difficulty comes when intent is subsumed by governmental policies that results in coercion. I admit it's a tough call in some cases.
