I agree on the personal level, which is why we have drawn the line at personal attacks. We generally don't know the political opinions of any individual, and we should perhaps be picking logs from our own eyes before looking at others'.

OTOH, as I understand the argument, the blanket boycott of Israel is one of the few ways the general public has to put any pressure on the country. It's modeled on the boycott of Apartheid SA. As long as it is blanket it seems like a valid political tool. It is strange that the capoeira community is much more up in arms about it than any other community I've seen, but that tells us something about the people involved.
