10. So you agree that BLM & BDS should boycott individual Zionists (Jews)?

If Susan Talve is boycotted, then every elected Democrat including Obama, Hillary, and Bernie Sanders should be boycotted. Heck, it's a fact that BLM was against Bernie Sanders. Was it because he's a Jew?

Here's Mondoweiss (including Phil Weiss) blasting Bernie for being too conservative on Israel:

Where is the red line drawn on boycotting Jews like Bernie or Talve for not being ideologically pure?

It's expected that racists and bigots such as the KKK, skinheads, neo-Nazis, & Islamists would boycott Jews but it's just as racist for BDS, BLM, and Mondoweiss to boycott Jews. Where am I wrong?
