Agreed but what are America's motives? Israel doesn't provide them oil and are actually a drain economically. Also, friendship with Israel is disastrous to America politically.
America until a month or so ago had more Jews than Israel. I think that that has a bit to do with America's concern for them. Also Israel is the only democracy in the region. Iraq, Lebanon and Afghanistan may become ones but, that isn't by any means certain yet. A third reason is that if it wasn't for America Israel would have been destroyed a long time ago. I think a majority of Americans would feel it was wrong to allow that to happen to a friend.
