If all Americans donated money to Palestine, would we be all thrown in Jail?

It would seem the unreasonableness of our "ally" Israelis not in the best interest in the US. Am I breaking laws even asking this question. If so, pardon me for my ignorance and faux pas.
L F or D: I just think aboout every country we ask to disarm gets obliterated. So when the Israelis with a history of expansionism ask the Palis to disarm, hmmm. n For allies and friends, they c ould be viewed by some as a bunch of sneaky spies and parasites on our economy.
Ruth: tHere is so much syuffering in the camps, shouldn't a Christian be concerned?
LF or D--You are right. hamas is about as extreme as Israel. It sure wuld be nice if they would stop the rocket barrage. I think its part of starting and encouraging more global jihad. But on the othert hand, why should the kids suffer?
 
Obviously your question is sarcastic, but I have to say that I agree with you in all parts. Those that call Israel the only democratic state in the Middel East obviously don't realize they are not a true democracy and are democratic in name only. Their basic constitutional documents speak of a "Jewish democratic state" while about 20 percent of their citizens are non-Jews. They have no separation of synagogue and state. They have, for over 40 years, maintained illegal settlements and a harsh military occupation in most of the Palestinian territories captured in 1967. Worse than that are recent actions of the Knesset, Israel's parliament. One action exempts the state from compensating Palestinians harmed during Israel Defense Force (IDF) operations in the territories. The second, aimed at curtailing the travel of Arab members of the Kenesset (MK), states that any Israeli who has visited an "enemy country" shall be considered a supporter of armed struggle against the Jewish state (unless proven otherwise), and will be prevented from running for parliament in the seven years following the visit. One does not need to be a constitutional scholar to worry about a democracy that eliminates access to its courts, curtails the right to be elected, and chooses to protect its police rather than detainees. Since all these measures were widely popular with Israelis, it is worthwhile reiterating an obvious point: Democracy is not only about the rule of the majority. Rather, its essence lies in empowering the majority without allowing it to tyrannize the minority.
