On the one hand, BDS (boycott, divestment, sanction, not K-Pop band) is antisemitic. If you believe in it, I won't stop being your friend, but I will yell at you very loudly and you will probably stop being my friend.
But until Israeli settlers stop lynching Palestinians in the West Bank, settlers should temporarily be barred from travelling to any country in the world, no matter their beliefs. The fact that Netanyahu is not insisting on prosecuting this to the fullest extent would be an impeachable offense in any functional government, but Netanyahu has a vested interest in keeping Israel as dysfunctional as he can.
It's one thing if you live beyond the Green Line because of affordability, you've become collateral damage and I'd feel sorry for you in whatever population transfer eventually comes, but any person who'd believe in the necessity of Israeli settlements has long since become nearly everything the world accuses Israel of being.
