Thank you.
Now, suppose you run a cheese shop, and you want to boycott Israeli products through it...
----------
The antiboycott provisions of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) apply to all "U.S. persons," defined to include individuals and companies located in the United States and their foreign affiliates. These persons are subject to the law when their activities relate to the sale, purchase, or transfer of goods or services (including information) within the United States or between the U.S. and a foreign country.
----------
...the boycott would begin with telling your suppliers or purchasing agents, "Goods of Israeli origin not acceptable". Are you free to do that?

I'm curious to see how it plays out, and the precedent it will set.

Halabja isn't comperable to Dresden and Hiroshima? OK
both sides were bombarding it, but isn't that irrelevant to the dead? It was a slaughter.

Contradictory to say these trade disputes work out, in the
end, and also admit they're
eternal (lumber for example has been an issue between out countries for centuries). Pick one.
I didn't mean to act like trade disputes haven't been around as long as lying and stealing and squandering your good name. That you, Lothar5150, excuse it as normal behaviour (in your "interest", perhaps?) really illuminates the problem to me, and blesses the solution.
