Stop Hurting Israel: American pro-Israel group opens a petition

With the slogan "While Israel is negotiating peace ... Europe is hurting Israel," an American pro-Israel organisation has opened a petition, to which as many signatories as possible are obviously sought.  The gist of the petition is:
"The European Commission has adopted Guidelines that ban funding and cooperation with Israeli entities in the West Bank, eastern Jerusalem, the Golan Heights and Gaza. These Guidelines are economic warfare against Israel. They contradict international law and agreements, EU legal precedents, and the EU’s treatment of other nations with disputed territory – and they undermine the peace process. If you believe in fairness, you cannot let this stand."
Implicit in the organisation's initiative is the threat of economic retaliation via a boycott of European goods if the Guidelines are actually enforced.
