The American Moral Role on supporting Israel against the PalestinianRIGHTS
And the continuation of the Palestinian Suffering is a fact:

"Yet it was years-in-years-out American diplomacy and billions in American laons and/or outright grants voted for annually by Americans' representatives in Congress that were sustaining the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It was American-made bombers, paid for, at least in part, by American taxpayers, that were pulverizing Beirut apartment houses and burying their occupants under the rubble. Rightly or wrongly, willingly or not, every American citizen, simply by his or her citizenship, was and is involved in the conflict...." (America and the founding of Israel:
