it matters where we come from on a genetic basis, as so many of our characters, abilities and traits are genetically determined. The problem I have is that many Jews today aren't a descendant of Jacob, which makes Zionism and the country of Israel a criminal organization and a rogue terrorist state.

What do the Laws Prohibit?
Conduct that may be penalized under the TRA and/or prohibited under the EAR includes:
* Agreements to refuse or actual refusal to do business with or in Israel or with blacklisted companies.
* Agreements to discriminate or actual discrimination against other persons based on race, religion, sex, national origin or nationality.
* Agreements to furnish or actual furnishing of information about business relationships with or in Israel or with blacklisted companies.
* Agreements to furnish or actual furnishing of information about the race, religion, sex, or national origin of another person.
Implementing letters of credit containing prohibited boycott terms or conditions.
The TRA does not "prohibit" conduct, but denies tax benefits ("penalizes") for certain types of boycott-related agreements.

No, they didn't. Read the sidebar story. What they got fined for was actually furnishing the information the customer requested. That is what this (admittedly stupid) law prohibits, and that was what the company was fined for apparently -- enabling, through its acquiescence to the customer's request, an anti-Israeli boycott.Elizabeth Isabelle wrote:How that boiled down in the case listed at the top of the previous link was that a customer asked a Missouri company "Are any of these products made in Israel, or made of Israeli materials?" and the company did not report this customer's question to the federal government, so they got fined $6,000.

it sounds like it was a major deal, not an over-the-counter transaction. It probably had to be cleared by some government agencies at some point, and I imagine they asked questions.Elizabeth Isabelle wrote:Thanks for the clarification Victor.
I'd still like to know how they found out, though.
