> Israel or Jewish people in general?

as a person of jewish faith, I ask that you please not falsely conflate these two completely different concepts

someone who opposes jewish people in general is bad, but someone who opposes the ongoing genocide of palestinians is good

your usage of "or" here would indicate that the above good person is grouped together with the above bad person

> If anything some of those pro-Palestinian protests were more reminiscent of the 1933 “German Firm” boycotts

structuring your metaphor like this, strikes me as an example of DARVO [0], considering what is being done to innocent palestinians. how many israelis patronize businesses based in palestine? how many such businesses do you patronize?
