The BSD (Boycott, Sanctions and Disinvestment) Movement is stumped.
Someone is using their methodology:
Targeting Israeli businesses via the threat of boycotts is usually the preserve of radical forces from abroad, but the latest sanctions storm to hit the country is very much an internal affair. Tzomet Sefarim, one of the nation's largest booksellers, this week bowed to intense pressure from rightwing critics to stop selling The National Left, a political pamphlet which heavily criticises the settler movement.
According to a Tzomet Sefarim spokesman, the extraordinary decision to withdraw the book was taken despite the company being "a chain for all of the people of Israel [and having] no political affiliation". Instead, the company acted "because we received many complaints that the book hurts the feelings of some of our customers, [so] we decided to stop selling it".
