People boycotting an entire company because a fraction of its civilian industry operates in a tiny country that doesn't care about your existence at all, with a high concentration of multiple ethnic minorities who fled from other nearby countries, in an extremely politically unstable region, will never not sound weird to me.

TSMC (AMD's fab), is heavily based in Taiwan, which has its own implications regarding long-term sustainability and monopoly.

With only two real choices for x86, and the complexity of the global supply chain, it hardly seems like a fair comparison.

		Boycotting countries that actively participate in apartheid sounds perfectly reasonable to me. When that apartheid graduates to ethnic cleansing and then genocide it becomes more than reasonable, more than necessary. Israel will not stop murdering people until they are crushed either economically, militarily, or both. Their political leaders have made this clear even to the loud objections of their own military leadership.
