It depends on the vegan and other circumstance I suppose. I would on BDS grounds and that even a vegan bigmac still supports one of the largest cow murdering corporations there is. I don't understand the point of a "vegan" bigmac and having mcdonalds not be part of the palestinian or cow genocide means it would functionally be a completely different entity bearing only the name due to historical reasons. Like Nintendo the playing cards company and Nintendo the videogames company.

Sure, but that more or less also goes for Israel.

Olives from pissrael or spain are still olives. A "vegan" bigmac is a different product from the "original".

Yes, the goal of a boycott is to encourage/force change through economic means. BDS buying Israeli olives would require either the olives somehow be fully separate from the entire rest of the Israeli market (which, if the target is not McD specifically but the meat industry as a whole, a vegan bigmac would fit) or about the same level of change to Israel as McD becoming vegan only. It's roughly analogous, is the point.
