Perhaps so, but a big part of the difficulty round this issue is people calling things which aren't (like thinking the settler movement is deeply unjust) 'anti-semitic'. It makes it almost impossible to have a sensible conversation around the subject. Boycotting Israel, or at least settlers, seems sensible to me for the same reasons that it was sensible against South Africa. And holding debconf there seems like a bad plan for the same reason that a lot of bands got abuse for playing Sin City in the 1980s.
