Law is summarized as:
Prohibited actions include (1) refusing to do business with companies organized under the laws of the boycotted country, if the refusal is pursuant to an agreement with or request from the country or IGO imposing the boycott; (2) refusing to employ any U.S. person on the basis of race, religion, sex, or national origin; and (3) furnishing information about whether someone is associated with charitable or fraternal organizations that support the boycotted country.

So it seems like if you decide not to buy a shirt made in Israel because the EU suggests a boycott, you go to jail and/or get fined. Clear violation of the 1st ammendment.
-
Practically, how do you prosecute someone for not voluntarily consuming a good or service?
-
I'm guessing you can't but this might be aimed at businesses where there could be memos maybe?
-
It's for harassment. Even shit lawsuits cost serious money to defend. Yeah, it's unwinnable, but but the company defending might choose to not publicly side with a boycott or engage in one, which is the goal of these apocalypse seeking lunatics.
Also, lawyers don't take civil rights cases anymore since the Supreme Court ruled the lawyer couldn't get paid out of government reparations to the victims. Constitutional violation cases take time and a shit load of money to prosecute, something most victims don't have.
There was a recent decision continuing this trend.

Even then that only works if they specificy that it's because of a boycott, they could refuse to do business because the other guy smelt like a vegetarian omelette MRE which would be a valid reason. Anti-boycott laws are pretty universally easy to get around since a boycott functions on the principal of "I'm not buying that" which is pretty hard to prove the reasoning to.

fyi a vegetarian omlette is just an omlette, you're probably thinking vegan, also yeah vegans are so annoying for randomly bringing it up huh
-
No, I know what I said. The naming scheme for military shit can be a bit weird but for the Vomellete in particular it's because they were planning on bringing back a ham and eggs MRE equivalent. They never got to it since the Vomellete was so fucking bad, it was so bad that stevemre1989 gagged which is impressive since he has eaten food from the 1800s.

it didn't really register that we're talking about military rations
i was talking more generally, vegetarian diet includes eggs and milk, so idk what else they might have added, maybe some old unused cheese from the cheese caves-
Cheese and veggies were the secondary components. Obviously the shitty eggs were primary.
