We don't care what they do with it, and to question it would be ungodly.

the majority of people in the USA for example accept Israel as an ally BUT dont support the Occupation of Palestinian territory.

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.

I am assuming that the USA is a democracy - which it isnt.

So its not surprising is it folks

Or are you suggesting that the US SLAVERY system that still operates to some extent is a democratic way of organising society???

Do you even know what the word "DEMOCRACY" means?

So the answer to your question above is "NO"

You just murdered them using a long term systematic extermination that is of genocidal proporations - how many native American indians were there prior to the White christian fascist invasion several centuries ago?

12 million ? ?

US democracy - DONT MAKE ME LAUGH!

You should learn what the word democracy means in Greek first before you use it in a sentence correctly.
