Yes some of the money is spent on killing Palestinians

These Israeli companies pay taxes to the Israeli government, which spends a lot of money on the Israeli armed forces, which kill Palestinians regularly.
So, buying Israeli goods funds the killing of Palestinians, just as the cartoon shows.
Foaming at the mouth people should note that I said Israeli goods. I did not say that goods bought from businesses which happen to be run by Jewish people will fund the killing of Palestinians. Not all Jewish people support the Israeli state and the current government which prefers to keep violence going to keep itself in power. Some of the staunchest opponents of the Zionist project are Jewish people. With a business which happens to be run by Jewish people the issue is more complicated than Israeli goods/

The cartoons, the boycotts, the libels, the denial, all the classic tropes of old-school anti-semitism coming from people who can't handle the thought that THEY might be part of an evil empire, that THEY might be benefitting from a rotten system, that selfishness and greed and evil is inside THEM just as much as anyone else.
No, far better to rant and rail at a small country far away in the middle east... which just *happens* to be Jewish.

a regular consequence of Israeli military repression in the ongoing occupation.

As usual, someone appears who can assure us all that our opposition to israeli fascism and jewish extremism is fuelled by an irrational hatred that sublimely these two groups are free of.
Such valid, human centred opposition is reduced (in their eyes at least) to the simplistic rhetoric of the playground and the kenesset, where to be semitic is merely the function of being called jew, rather than of the historic reality of geography and thus encompassing all of the people of the region (and beyond) who hail from semitic peoples - but strangely rather few of those current squatters, whose origins do not.
Fortunately they engage in attempting to shout down the wind ...
