ZOA calls for boycott over confiscated land (Jewish land, that is)

Parallel universe. The Zionist Organization of America is threatening to boycott Coca-Cola because it bought land in Egypt for a bottling plant that was once owned by a Jewish family, the Bigios, and that was stolen from them in 1964 during an anti-Semitic campaign. The Bigios have sued to get their land back. Coke is indifferent, says the ZOA. The company has acted "cavalierly" and "despicably" and is profiting from antisemitism, says the ZOA.

Well I'm all for the Bigios. But interesting that the ZOA is opening this door on confiscation of property. Confiscation is neverending in the West Bank and Israel. Why not use the boycott power there too?
