It’s impossible to target all of them, yes. But that’s why BDS creates a targeted list of the worst offenders to concentrate consumer boycott pressure.
edit: this got down votes? let me explain: if you just dont buy them, someone else can. If you steal them, then whatever middleman spends the cost but doesn’t make the profit. if lots of people steal them, the insurance on that cargo/merchandise goes up. it gets more expensive and eventually market forces mean those products won’t get stocked, when theres any alternative.
which means they get less. you not having to go without, or even making a profit, is just a nice bonus.

Currently the BDS list includes 8 targets, including HP, Sabra, Siemens, Puma, and Soda stream. https://bdsmovement.net/get-involved/what-to-boycott
do steal them though. stealing them is good.

It worked for McDonald’s and Starbucks though. If you boycott the major ones it should have some impact.
