US Business Owners Can Be Fined and Imprisoned for Supporting Israeli Boycott

[Jos]

The antiboycott laws, enforced by US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security under the Export Administration Act, discourage and even outlaw "furthering or supporting" the Israeli boycott.

The Bureau is charged with administering and enforcing the Antiboycott Laws under the Export Administration Act.

Those laws discourage, and in some circumstances, prohibit U.S. companies from furthering or supporting the boycott of Israel sponsored by the Arab League, and certain Moslem countries, including complying with certain requests for information designed to verify compliance with the boycott.

Compliance with such requests may be prohibited by the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and may be reportable to the Bureau.

The penalties for taking part in the boycott range from fines of tens of thousands of dollars to multiple years in prison.

Of course that does not prevent the BDS movement from trashing a company's reputation for doing business with Israel.

nothing new Jos-----in fact laws to prevent people from boycotting
on the basis of their bigotry and hatreds and other forms of
nazi filth have been on the books in the USA for a VERY LONG time---
and were not created for the sake of the JOOOOOOS ---are you sick
little post implies

In fact way back in pre-historic times-----when I was a child---
there were publications of "recommended businessmen"
which turned out to be something like "those who have blue
eyes and attend church----protestant, not catholic"------
Those publications were outlawed -----as would be publications
of "businesses to avoid----- including those people who take
time off on fridays" The USA is not a shariah cesspit

In fact----there are laws that do make the public trashing thing ---illegal--
but difficult to enforce ----BTW ---where have you been? your group has
been doing this stuff since 1950--------so far all you have accomplished is
----you have made lots of smart christian lebanese and syrian business people
wealthy selling Israeli products in arab neighborhoods. Keep up the good
work

If a company is violating international law then the people have the right to bring that out in public.

No personal interest for or against Israel, but plenty of interest in trade policy.

There are dozens of legal ways around banned boycotts, most notably extending lead times, very bad service and pricing. It is unconstitutional for the federal government to set export pricing by privately held firms, and if there are laws governing pricing by publicly listed firms they are arcane.

In other words only filthy ******* scum would force a firm to trade with foreigners they don't want to trade with, still, degenerate scum are what the US government has been for forty or so years, but despite all that firms can simply price their goods for direct sale at a rate equal to the costs of buying through a beard country and at least increase profits to the undesirable trade partner, or claim short supply or extend lead times to untenable lengths.

In terms of the history of anti-boycott law, there is no record of an anti-foreign-boycott law before Abe Ribicoff hooked an amendment to protect Israel to a 1976 or 1977 tax law against joining a FOREIGN NATION's boycott, e.g., the arab league's boycott of Israel. However, there is an entirely legal path around that, which is to join an entirely legal DOMESTIC BOYCOTT of the same nation. This rarely happens because businesses large enough to deal internationally are not in the business of choosing their customers.

South Africa is in ruins ---in the past it was a throw
back to the isa-respecter's slave trade You made
no point----you simply red-flagged the fact that the
filth of first reich's justinian code and shariah----created
gross atrocities. Racial chattel slavery is YOUR culture---
it never existed in Israel ------PURELY ISA RESPECTING
FILTH-------in arabia it was one of the main business
opportunities even for the pre -isa-respecting people--
who supplied black slaves to lands as far as the
Persian empire reached and eventurally to you and yours
in the americas. It still exists within the isa-respecting

Noone can force a person or company to invest in or buy from or do business in Israel. Nothing in the provisions addressed in the laws addressed in the article change that. So, we shall continue to see individuals pressure companies to not invest in or buy from or do buisness in Israel and we shall continue to see companies listen to the calls of people of conscience.

It fascinates me that sherri continues to use the hebrew word--SATAN---albeit
with not a wit of comprehension of the word---
---Sherri----Satan is NOT

IBLIS----the right hand jinn of your 'god' Isa who can get into urinating
into ears and -----get it on with girls-----Satan is a concept---not a person.

Since you are getting your information from ISA --in arabic---stick
to arabic-----avoid hebrew-----it is beyond you.

of course----people can avoid anything they wish----like underwear from
Indonesia and steel implements from pakistan where they murder christians
for fun export terrorists and serve the 'god' isa
Lets get rolling on these boycotts

for the record----not all "INDIAN RESTAURANTS" are "indian" ----some
are owned by muslims-----always look for the word "halal" ----if you see
it RUN LIKE HAL---or halal ---or hell as if from IBLIS ----not
"satan" ----satan is not a JINN------Iblis is

the best "INDIAN RESTAURANTS" have a sign reading "INDIAN
VEGETARIAN CUISINE.......and kosher, too.""

Perhaps we need another USS Liberty incident to show the Amerikan sheeple that Israel is really not that good of a friend....

So you want dead American troops to just prove propagandonist agenda?

You're one twisted being

Let's face it, this is the cause of AIPAC funding is to derail anti-Israel laws in our Congress...AIPAC trough its affiliate’s dishes out more political contributions than the NRA who just derailed background checks for gun ownership even though 90% of Americans support it.

Control of America via money power of tiny minorities is destroying our Democracy.

If a company is violating international law then the people have the right to bring that out in public.

And if individuals or companies are violating US law, then the US has the right to prosecute them.

Since that 'violation of international law' is basically an opinion - I suppose that could amount to slander. And again subject to prosecution.
