Did you know it is illegal in the USA to boycott anything related Israeli business.
How fucked up is that?

There you go.
Fines can be levvied against anyone who writes in support of the arab boycott of Israeli products.
Businesses can be fined for not reporting boycott requests.
I don't see how I'm not within my rights as an individual to support any boycott, arab or otherwise. It's one of the few sources of leverage a consumer slave can ever expect to have.
I am surprised you don't know this, I will start a thread to alert others!

It does seem fucked up but it is not exactly as you characterized it in your original post, is it?
"which prohibit U.S. persons from taking actions in support of unsanctioned foreign government boycotts,"
I'm curious as to whether this applies only to Israel or whether it is a general effort to prevent individuals and businesses from interfering with foreign policy. The link is very short and not very informative.

I did get a little over zealous with my earlier generalization, but it never ceases to amaze me how nobody knows about this. You would think this would make the 6 o'clock news at least once, being a violation of the constitution and all. I wonder why it has never been mentioned, then again, it probably just got overlooked. 
The link says all it needs to.
The fact remains, it is US law that to support any boycott of Israel, is to face fines and possible jail time. I read somewhere the maximum penalty is 5 years in prison, no link, just memory. I will look for more info though.
I wouldn't mind finding a document with the actual laws and penalties, but I don't think it will be easy to find, for reasons which you can guess.
So people, if you had family killed in the USS Liberty massacre, hate the constant human rights violations, or just hate having your taxes given to a foreign 1st world nation, there isn't much you can do about it. The basic right to support a boycott of ONE THING, is illegal.
Hell You could support a boycott of US made products, and that is legal(I am assuming). WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

WOW, such a great country when the government is more loyal to a foreign one than their own.

Not exactly. Most Americans see Israel as an extension of the US in the Middle East. That is why most Americans support Israel's struggle for independence.
And it's not about loyalty. It's about making sure that arab countries have no say on US foreign and domestic policy.

So why is it legal to support a boycott of the USA, but not Israel?

Because US citizens can when a US company pisses them off. In the case of Israel it is the arabs telling Americans what to do... Therefore the arabs are infringing on our foreign policy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
1) What IF, somebody wanted to boycott Israel because they had a relative die on the USS liberty?
2) Arabs telling the Americans what to do?? AHAHAHAA
3) What if I wanted to support a boycott of Israel because it was my god given right?
You can answer all 3 can't you? Or will you just go off topic with something unrelated? What about American Arabs?
Honestly, do you actually believe the things you type?

1) What IF, somebody wanted to boycott Israel because they had a relative die on the USS liberty? I doubt that the government would care about a few family members. 2) Arabs telling the Americans what to do?? AHAHAHAA Well that is what they are doing... They want Americans to boycott Israel. 3) What if I wanted to support a boycott of Israel because it was my god given right? It might be your god given right to kill some1 for killing your family member but you will still go to jail.
