One key factor might be the influence of pro-Israel lobby<\/a> groups in Washington.

They pursue their agenda without any fear of substantial repercussions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The US operates more like a plutocracy than a true democracy.\u00a0 Many big financial donors influence political campaigns. AIPAC <\/a>is one of the top organizations that support Israel. It means that politicians also support Israel's illegal action because they want funding from these lobbying groups. Due to this reliance, it is hard for the United States laws to stand against Israeli interests, even when they might be needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides this, many US evangelical Christians stand in favour of Israel because of their religious beliefs.

Many officials in the United States claim that the US is the leading nation in defending democracy and human rights. This nation is always criticizing global injustices.
