You are missing the point of the argument. For example, if you call to boycott a country based on illegal occupation issues - you have to be consistent and call to boycott other countries involved in illegal occupation issues (e.g. Russia/Japan, Armenia/Azerbaijan, Turkey/Greece, UK/Argentina etc.). Same principle goes for women equality, population oppression, sexual orientation persecution etc. Pick an issue, any issue and then be consistent in calling to boycott all countries based on this issue. Then your public position is consistent and respected. If you narrow your boycott on a wide-spread issue to only one country chances are, your motivation is questionable.
