Maybe. But it doesn't support your claim: "Israel is the catalyst for 
Islamic terror, and is the centre from which terrorism arises"

US law forbade any US citizen from supplying weapons to either side. 
Laws are passed by Congress. Congress is elected by the people.

I see that the ad-homs are flying thick and fast now. That's what tends 
to happen when you run out of rational arguments and your basis is 
ideological or race-based, you'll resort to *any* tactic to 'win'.

But if your mind was open, and you truly wanted to learn something, you 
would take new facts on board and not resort to ad-hom or descend into 
name-calling. Therefore, it follows that this debate has ended. Reason: 
You're just another fuckwit.
