Those laws don't forbid a company from exiting or suspending international operations. They say that if you do so specifically in Israel, then a given US State government will not do business with you.
While similar, it neither applies to Russia nor prohibits the suspension or termination of an international arm of your business.
- willcipriano 5y agoYou must do business with Israel or you will face these defined consequences. You must not murder someone or you will face these defined consequences. I don't see a distinction between the two. They both aim to stop a behavior with threats of punishment.

These word games remind me of civil asset forfeiture, "oh no, we aren't charging you with a crime we are charging your car and cars don't have rights so we don't have to have a trial. Hand over the keys."
