Since when did standing up for human rights become so unpopular?

Without exception all of the criticism listed here (and throughout this whole debate) has been of a hysterical nature, based on tiresome rhetoric, devoid of context, empirically vacuous and diversionist.

This motion supports peace. It is in the tradition of the Israeli-Palestinian signed Oslo II agreement which states that “Neither side shall initiate or take any step that will change the status of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip pending the outcome of the Permanent Status negotiations.”

These actions 'merely' aim to uphold multiple articles enshrined in international humanitarian law by sanctioning Israeli architects for their widespread involvement in the occupation of Palestine, which ultimately aims to change (and is changing) this status.

This motion has nothing to do with anti-semitism, left wing intelligentsia bias or personal motives. In fact, it has arguably nothing to do with the boycott movement.

It's not so difficult to understand. Try.
