Which way do you think this will cut? If an American business were to decide not to buy diamonds from Israel, or if a bunch of musicians decided to leave Israel off of their next tour, how do you think would the Supreme Court rule if the DOJ imposed a huge fine?
Unfortunately I have to say that at this time I don't know what the Courts (including the Supreme Court) will decide or even if they would agree to hear such a case.

As for the DOJ, I am not overly concerned about their opinion. It is that of the Supreme Court, that rightly or wrongly settles the issue.
The issue is if the DOJ is on record allowing businesses to discriminate almost at will would loss of business with Israel be significant enough to offset the advantages of freedom to discriminate.
The DOJ has now gone on record that the only place discrimination might be an issue is when the sex as recorded on the birth certificate is involved and we already know there is discrimination in wages between men and women that the courts have ignored forever.
Right now I believe the only saving factor out there is that today's Conservatives really are the bumbling bunch of idiots they appear to be and will most likely continue to implement the truly ignorant nonsense like keeping transgenders out of the military, guarding the bathroom door, rolling back same sex marriages, destroying health care, robbing pensions, Social Security and Medicare, destroying education and building the laughing stock border wall instead of doing the one thing that would assure their power base for generations.
