The problem is, for your position to be morally consistent you would have to be against all boycotts and sanctions everywhere because they are, by their very nature, unfair to many people. They are not an ideal tool but for want of a better one this is the one we have.

I did a little thought experiment and considered that if I were a business owner here (the UK) and someone said to me, “I would have bought what you are selling but how your country has treated the Chagos islanders is abhorrent.”, I would probably feel that was a bit unfair because I support the Chagos islanders, they have been treated terribly by my country, but I would also completely understand and support that person in their boycott of the UK.

Boycotts and sanctions worked in apartheid South Africa and if I can do a teeny tiny bit to help them work in Israel, I will.

Incidentally, I do protest my own Government’s behaviour, I live in London and have regularly gone to the recent pro-peace protests and will continue going until this genocide stops. In this year’s election I will not be voting for any political party or politician that did not immediately call for a ceasefire - that is not going to leave me with very many options at the ballot box, I can assure you.
