The only positive in this story is that Israel will always welcome Jews from around the world. The Jews have an ancient homeland to flee to.

"If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy." Psalm 137:6
And yet some Jews have different opinions on it and their definition of anti semitism is different.
ANTISEMITISM AND BANNING BOYCOTTS
We find it incompatible with democratic freedom, and counterproductive, that the government intends to block ethical investment and procurement decisions by public bodies lest they “poison and polarise debate and fuel antisemitism” [Boycotting of Israeli goods to be criminal offence, February 15]
Opposition to the State of Israel’s continued occupation, crimes against the Palestinian people and violation of international law, has nothing whatever to do with antisemitism. What smacks of antisemitism is to think that all Jews uncritically support Israel’s actions.
The truth is that growing numbers of Jews in this country and abroad see the Palestinian boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement for what it is – a weapon of moral persuasion, deploying a tactic frequently used by powerless people in their opposition to racism, slavery and oppression.
History shows us boycotts against slave grown sugar in the West Indies, the movement of Irish tenant farmers against the eponymous Captain Boycott, Gandhi’s Indian boycott of British sales of salt and the global movement which helped end apartheid in South Africa.
In every case the Tories of the day opposed the boycott, siding with the oppressor against the oppressed.
If Cabinet Office minister Matt Hancock goes ahead and announces the ban during a visit to Israel, claiming without a shred of evidence that “local foreign policies” are “undermining our national security”, he will demonstrate his government’s continuation of an ignoble tradition.

If someone is Jewish it's best not to assume you know what their veiw is based on a stereotype.
I don't boycott anything, and I try and avoid discussions on Israel if I meet someone who is Jewish unless they want to discuss it.
Unfortunately any comment can be taken as antisemitism if you bring it up.
I have found its best not to, individual Jews are not responsible for the actions of the Israeli government anyway, just because they are Jewish.
It's one of those subjects that is a minefield and very easy to put your foot in it.
I have discussed it in the past, but normally at public type meetings where the Jews that are there, are there to discuss it, so obviously are more open.
I avoid it otherwise unless prompted.
It's not as straight forward as your link implies.
