So why does the US government refuse to abide by the wishes of its people and continue to support the Occupation with military supplies and diplomacy through its continual veoting of UN resolutions.

So its not surprising is it folks
American citizens have made supporting Israel a national policy,
by making candidates say they will support Israel.
how we manifest our support is up to the officials the citizens elect.
citizens like supporting Israel,
and the way to support Israel is by giving them enough weapons and political support to take care of themselves.
