There’s a dialectic at play. Companies will divest themselves if the market dictates it. No shareholder will stick around if there bottom line is being hit because of an organised boycott. Likewise, it becomes easier to boycott when investors take their money to fund a competitor that isn’t based in Israel. And national bourgeoisies will want to sanction Israel if being connected to it is hurting the portfolios of their ruling classes, also making it illegal not to boycott or divest.
Tying B, D, and S together is quite clever and must be analysed from a Marxist perspective rather than a bourgeois standpoint of linear progression. Which is to say that once there have been enough quantitative changes across B, D, or S (which changes can be uneven), we will see a qualitative leap across the board.
It will look like nothing much is happening for a long time. Then a decade will happen in a week. A week-long decade of Palestinian liberation.
