It's not so crazy; imagine you're running a business that operates in both the US and an Arab League nation such as Lebanon.
The laws of Lebanon require you to observe a boycott of any products and services that originate in or transit through Israel. Meanwhile the laws of the US forbid you from observing the Arab Boycott of Israel. What do you do?
