Yawn. That's clever as a snippy response, but it's a defeatist attitude based on conjured neurosis rather than the real world. This is not about Eisav soneh es Yaakov, it's economics. Look no further than the Abraham Accords to see your 7b number disintegrate.
BDS has been at it for years and years. If that 7b number was accurate, they would have been far more successful. B&J is the most high-profile case of a BDS success, and even this doesn't boycott Israel.
B&J is one of the most progressive companies around - is there another that included a similar activism clause in a $300 million deal? And yet even they had been unsuccessful in their attempts to enact BDS, not for lack of desire. And even now, they announced it without a concrete plan on how they plan on enacting it when their current contract ends, and it was announced under immense pressure! Unilever is clearly pissed and trying its utmost to do damage control. As things stand, can you envision a blue-chip company following B&J?
If BDS is successful, it could spell economic doom for Israel. That's why Israeli politicians are seemingly over-reacting to moves like B&J's. You have to fight back hard to make sure any company watching sees BDS as a risk rather than an opportunity. Other companies aren't like B&J, they don't care about the cause, they just want to do what will make customers happy, which is why they try out-woke each other. If you make the woke path riskier, that will prevent them from taking it.
