OK, but I was looking for the relevance.RE: Boycot Israel
SUBTOPIC: Self-Determination Again
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al
.
(PREFACE) For almost every State, there is a threshold for the criminal ideas of "sedition" and "treason." When you speak and advocate the detachment from the republic, federation, national body, or a political subdivision for any purpose, that is criminal in almost every nation. It does not matter whether or not you are "Exercising the Right of Self-determination" and the creation a new and independent state (or not). This is a matter of loyalty, especially in a political state.
◈ Sedition: Each National Authority or Government frowns upon the advocation incitement of the citizenry to rebel against the national authority or attempt to force a regime change.◈ Treason: Each National Authority or Government frowns on the betrayal of the government, especially by attempting to - or - promoting the overthrow the government or otherwise force a regime change.◈ Insurrection: Each National Authority or Government frowns on a violent uprising against an authority or government. In America, there are legal and constitutional means to secure that change. But it is a non-violent process.

I am not, for a moment, send you to a page about loyalty. I am not going to send you to a page that would attempt to explain the allegiance to one's country. You are either loyal and support and defend one's country, or you don't. That is a matter for each individual to follow their heart. Like America, most countries hope that the citizenry promises to support and defend the Constitution (or equivalent).
When I was growing-up, the morning in school started with the Pledge of Allegiance, and the Republic that is "indivisible."
There is no international law that either allows for or prohibits actively working against the government. BUT, the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights (CCPR) does prohibit any Any propaganda for war. And the CCPR prohibits the advocacy of hatred that constitutes incitement to hostility or violence. And it does not make exceptions.
.
I take exception to the notion you spread that: you have "never heard that before." You may not understand the concepts of integrity, loyalty, patriotism, the defense of the Republic, and the defense of the Constitution for the nation that is indivisible. But I'm sure that somewhere along the way, you have experienced the sentiment.

What does that have to do with Palestine?
