Only Israel, and even enticing others to do it. I'm (almost)sure one can find some articles and maybe the actual congressional decision on the internet, last time I stumbled on it was only some 4-5 years ago, but the bookmark is somewhere very deep down in old backups.

In 1977, the US Congress passed a law creating the Office of Antiboycott Compliance within the Department of Commerce to make sure that the Arab boycott of Israel does not take root in the US. Such actions would create de facto foreign policy; an area that Congress affirmed is under its jurisdiction. The law established that no US persons may take actions in support of an unsanctioned foreign boycott of a nation that is friendly to the United States.

A Missouri company has been fined $6,000 for not reporting a customer's question to the federal government.
