Jews make up a large portion of Democratic voters/donors, so that's that for the Democrats, while evangelicals make up an even larger portion of Republican voters, and of course the Jews must possess their own nation in the 'Holy Land' in order for Jesus to return.
This.
Ok, you really don't understand foreign policy, do you? Israel is our only trustworthy ally in the Middle East. They give us some pretty damn good intelligence at times (which, sometimes we stupidly ignore).
Also, politicians need to suck up to christian/jewish voters who believe Jerusalem is the Holy land.
You have no right to attack Rwoys post. If you believe Israel is our friend, I would like you to get on wikipedia and read about the USS Liberty incident, the Vela incident, or the root cause of 911. Our support for Israel hurts us, and while I am personally pro Israel for the most part, I oppose all US support for them (and Palestine for that matter), because it only hurts us. Israel needs to stick up for itself, and not have us do its dirty work.
