Thats something I could get behind, but lets not forget - America produces weapons, and sells medical supplies at a premium price.
Other than the uzi, all the guns being used in the Middle East come from America. Tanks, helicopters, etc. all that are being used by israel come from America.
On the flip side, the Palestinians also use weapons that come from America. They are funneled through other 'friendly' states like Saudi Arabia or Jordan, then are used to fight israel.
Much like the Iran/Iraq war - America is making money hand over fist by arming both sides. Also like that conflict - everything is being paid for with American tax dollars.
