Don't thinkthats the message here. Boycotts and targeted divestment campaigns work. BDS has done untold damage to the Israeli economy, and becomes a bridgehead to more concrete action such as sabotage and snd picket lines.
I don't think ragging folks for the selection of a few coordinated targets is a good use of time. Just like with the "general strike" stuff, it's not expected to immediately abolish ICE in one righteous moment of proletarian fury; but it does help practice tactics and build networks. Recognising the collective struggle against the state requires choosing battles that aren't winnable, but form an escalation to the ones that are.
