I understand what you meant Miriam, just that the
phrase "no jews, no dogs" is a racist one and
offensive.

I think why people are confused is because the person
who wrote the phrase has just thrown in with no
context. You seem to have interpreted it as meaning
the person is writing that to say that they agree with
the boycott and have gone further to say "Yes I agree
with the boycott, we want "no jews, no dogs"

However...

When I read it, I thought they might be commenting on
the boycott, that the boycott is to exclude jewish
people and that it can be summarised as "no jews, no
dogs". That the boycott is saying the same thing and
that it is racist.

The slogan was just thrown in there, so we have no way
of knowing what they mean by it and obviously theres
no point asking you Miriam, as you didn't write it!

love

Freya
