We need to allow Israel to protect its people; would we allow canada to restrict our actions if a domestic terrorist group sprang up here and started killing people?

"We need to allow Israel to protect its people; would we allow canada to restrict our actions if a domestic terrorist group sprang up here and started killing people?"

Perhaps if we were using weapons provided by Canada, they might have something to say about it.

Under the 1967 US Arms Export Control Act, it is illegal to use US weapons to carry out extra-judicial killings. This act stipulates that weapons be sold to “friendly countries solely for internal security and legitimate defence.”

So, if Israel wants to keep firing rockets into population centers, they'll have to be non-US supplied.
