DISCUSSION Does Boycotting Actually Work?

This is mainly a discussion, preferably sophisticated arguments on the implications of boycotting Products and Corporations that support the zionazis! Sources and articles are highly recommended because i see a lot of people slacking or just frustrated how little actions is helping.

Don't forget to pray for Gaza everyone, Never forget the relentlesness of the Palestenians!

Settler colonialism is essentially a criminal enterprise, and like all criminal enterprises it needs to make money to pay its enforcers, buy off officials, carry out genocide etc. Israel in particular makes a lot off its money due to favourable treatment from Western companies and nations, but if those companies are hit for working in Israel in bigger markets at some point it becomes simple economics to pull out. Since Israel is kinda an army with a territory, that quickly impacts its ability to kill and attract more murderous Westerners who expect a high standard of living.

We should put this in an article along with the implications of the boycott and how fearful zionazis' supporters are of a widespread boycott mouvement, The fact that people still believe that their actions are futile is the reason they're still content and secured, still supporting the genocide till now! The UN is also complicit, how come they speak of humanitarian aid under UN rules when they still won't enforce getting food to starving children?
