How on earth does anything like this apply to private citizens? How do I, as a private citizen, boycott Israel?

This is nonsensical and any attempt to enforce this farce will hopefully be struck down/thrown out in court

It looks like the boneheads running the local govt interpreted the state anti-BDS law, which is about businesses that participate in BDS, as something which applies to individuals.

Does my refusal to purchase a Sodastream constitute a boycott of Israel?
Depends on why. I refused because it's cheaper to buy soda on sale and/or the store brand. You have to be really into gadgets or really buy into their eco-claims to consider using it.
It's (barely) worth it if you buy mostly club soda like I do.

I really didn’t peg you for a yuppie carbonated water drinker.

Eh, had to kick my Diet Coke addiction that I picked up in business school somehow.

Most coke addictions I’ve heard of people picking up in business school weren’t diet...

Well, that's another thing altogether, lol.

To be fair, he's anti-America too.
