This provision is essentially symbolic (to throw a sop to the Zionist lobby) but meaningless. President Obama has the power and discretion to ignore the anti-BDS provision, and be assured that he will wisely and morally avail himself of this discretion. BDS is here to stay and strengthen.

USA laws do not function outside the USA and any attempt by the USA to force other nations to bow to USA demands will lead to trade wars where USA companies will be the big losers. There are many nations that would love to have a "plausible" excuse to throw USA companies out of their country so local companies could have the business. Any punishment by the USA would simply void trade agreements s and get the USA hauled into the international trade court.
