Nonsense.  It's a boycott, not a denial of service.
And it's just a boycott, it's not even picketting out front with signs.

Perhaps I wasn't clear...

The organization in question does nothing wrong... but somehow gets in
the blackhole list either by someone spoofing their netblocks, from
faked complaints or other means.  Thus, causing the said organization to
be denied connectivity by some malicious person(s).
