There must be a valid reason for every instance of BDS, and I would prefer a narrow interpretation that included only actual enablers of Israeli wrongdoings. This doesn't mean that I disagree on the fundamental issues of why and how BDS - it just means that I prefer a cautious approach that stays away from gray moral territory.
