It is the US law thepieman, it is illegal to boycott Israel. It is also illegal in the United Staets to fail to report to the authourites if you have been asked to join in a boycott of Israel. The same applies to any boycotts not sanctioned by the US government.

The land of the free indeed. Here is a thread on ATS that covers the illegality of boycotting Israel in the United States:

ATS: Illegal to boycott Israel?

From the US Bureau of Industry and Security website:

Commerce Official Urges Compliance with U.S. Regulations Opposing Boycott of Israel

Commerce Under Secretary for Industry and Security Kenneth I. Juster today again reminded U.S. companies of the need to comply with laws and regulations prohibiting U.S. persons from taking actions in support of foreign government boycotts against Israel. Juster's comments were in response to recent statements made by certain members of the Arab League's Boycott Office to reactivate the ban on trade with Israel.

"The U.S. Government is strongly opposed to restrictive trade practices or boycotts targeted at Israel," Juster said. "The Commerce Department is closely monitoring efforts that appear to be made to reinvigorate the Arab boycott of Israel and will use all of its resources to vigorously enforce U.S. antiboycott regulations."

The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) administers U.S. antiboycott regulations, which prohibit U.S. persons from taking actions in support of unsanctioned foreign government boycotts, including the Arab League boycott of Israel. BIS has a long record of aggressive enforcement of the antiboycott regulations, with over $26 million in civil penalties imposed and denials of export privileges where violations have been found.


But remember it's the terrorists who hate your freedoms. It's the government who are going to protect them for you
