I suggest there is a vast difference between govt. dictated sanctions eg. Iraq, Iran and those originating from calls by those who are oppressed and who are supported by members of civil society in other countries who heed their calls. It is interesting to note that the activities of those supporting such boycotts are subject to vilification, claims of racism and/or antisemitism as is now the case. Don't forget Prof. Cole that the illegal Israeli squatters on Palestinian are their only because of Israeli policy and tacit US support.
