Support of Israel comes despite US laws that if used, would end American support of Israel:
The US Arms Export Control Act restricts the use of US weapons to justifiable self-defense and internal security, meaning US weapons cannot be used to target civillians in offensive operations.
The US Foreign Assistance Act bars US aid to a country with a pattern of gross human rights violations. Many human rights groups have condemned the Israeli attack .
Despite the injunctions in US law, hundreds of millions of dollars worth of US munitions have been suppilied to Israeli army against an country that was supportive of US gov?
Whidden said this in post #2 : Illegal or not, we support them. So get used to it.
What? Your blind loyalty to Israel is dangerous? This is crazy. Your saying when it comes to Israel laws do not matter? Are you jewish? right-wing christian fundamentalist? You know Hitler made similar stupid statements as yours.
Well we know that the US sent bomb to Israel and the planes carrying the bombs stopped of to refule at a civlian airport in Scotland, tha cargo of the plane wass not revelead. SDo as far as that act goes stupid, reckless, possiblr endangerment og human lives and oh yes against international law. The plane should of went to Lossiemouth RAF base to refuel.
As for the rest of the US foreign policy to Israelis it illegal maybe I mean we know Reagan refused to sell arms to Israel but I don't if that was a legal thing. What I do know is that America's unwavering support for all things Israel is not clever or helpful in the ME.
Viper1 said this in post #7 : No, right makes right.
"Illigal or not" was the quote I was commenting on, or in other words - Whidden was saying international law is irrelevant to the US (unless it's a convenient pretext to start a war in Iraq), so to most people this is a gangster mentality, which is might makes right.
Now which country was Whidden refering to when he said - screw the law, when it doesn't suits us it's irrelevant? This double standard rings clear as a bell to most people around the world but falls on deaf ears to many Americans. But that's the American privelage, being top dog. It will no doubt one day come back to bite you though, so don't bother complaining when it does.

Yes, but right makes right, too, when right is mighty.
"America is not what's wrong with the world. The struggle we are in is too important to have the luxury of returning to that old mentality of 'Blame America First.'" —Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld
Leftist "intellectuals" in America now look to Europe—steeped for years in anti-American propaganda from the Soviet Union.
US support of wilding primitive barbaric so-called "palestinians" (aka: arabians squatting in Israel where they know they are not supposed to be) is an abomination to the universe, logic and natural law
