This law causes more damage than good in current political configuration but...
I admit that i really despise the ones that boycott certain parts of Israeli population.As long as state of Israel and Israeli citizens remain in West Bank by authority of Israel the settlers/citizens have rights to equal services and opportunities.
For me its out of question that some part of Israeli government sponsored individuals will decide to boycott this or that town for political reasons.
Their obligation is to give equal cervices to all parts of Israel.
Even if they disagree that West Bank is part of Israel.

On political and propaganda side it wasn't smart thing to do at the moment.
It seems it will be smeared all over news everywhere and together with the flotilla and some twists may be easily turned into-"told you Israel is fascist state".
As far as i know USA has similar legislation.
