In an exclusive interview with a Press TV correspondent, money markets analyst Max Keiser was asked who is making money from killing children in Gaza?

Keiser also suggested that China will have put a halt to its reliance on the US dollar and the entire world must adopt global responsibility toward what is taking place in Gaza by boycotting Israeli and US products. He also recommended halting use of the US dollar as the primary international currency as a basic financial security measure.

Not only is a boycott of Israel against US law, one is required to report any requests one receives to do so.
From the Dept. of Commerce's Antiboycott Compliance website:
| Quote: |
| 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. |
At that site, you can make sure you are in compliance AND report any suspected Israel boycotters.
Happy reporting! |

Heh had the Op bothered to read the entire page hed see that this law is not just against boycotting Israel, but any boycott imposed by a foreign nation of which the US isnt a party:
From the URL:
Primary Impact:
The Arab League boycott of Israel is the principal foreign economic boycott that U.S. companies must be concerned with today. The antiboycott laws, however, apply to all boycotts imposed by foreign countries that are unsanctioned by the United States. |

Now, now. stop being rational and making sense. You should know that's not allowed.
Just join the chant of "boycott Israel". Don't you want to join the side of authoritarian regimes, some of whom stone gays and regularly engage in anti-Semitic invective? |

While I never said Israel was the ONLY target, it is clear from the very first paragraph, which I posted, and the one you posted that Israel is certainly the primary beneficiary of this law. |
