Nor is it nearly as dominant in Israel as it used to be in the 20th century.

Zionists are as diverse as the rest of Israel, and they, with the possible exception of staunch Netanyahu supporters, see the illegality of settlements on the occupied territories as clearly as anyone. Acting on a single issue that is, or should be, non-controversial, is a good way to build consensus across the entire political and ideological spectrum. Sounds like a good start to me. Sure beats indiscriminately boycotting all things Israel.
