Why does USA support/protect Israel and its special interest? What do we have there that is so important to the U.S.?

Maybe you should try to get some unbiased information on the matter before posting? These neo-nazi/pro-arab/anti-jewish brainwash campaigns get really old really fast.

1.those that bless isreal shall be blessed
 2.we have always been for the under dog
 3. we were founded on judeo/christian principals
 4.as some americans do,isreal has a decent moral compass
 5.those that hate isreal dont want to just defeat her in battle,but wipe her out as a people as in no more jews alive anywhere,as long as americas moral compass is decent we wont let that happen,oil or no oil.
 6. isreal is greatfull and doesnt just pay lipservice to friendship .....so far

Nah Capt. Pork... Innapropriate picture considering the post. Downrigger woulda been more like it.

But in answer to the post... I'm guessing a huge amount of Jewish voters has something to do with it.

But it's the right thing to do, imho.

I don't have numbers.

But it's significant enough that neither side would want to piss them off by abandoning Israel.

Not votes as much as campaign contributions...  Jews are only some 2% of the population and even if all of them voted it wouldnt be such a huge issue. Plus something like 70-80% of Jews vote democratic anyway.  Votes may be a bigger factor this year though because there are so many Jews living in Florida.

heh... I don't even know what that stuff means.

I do know that the first president or presidential candidate who says "enough, we're out of Israel" better take up a new hobby.

I just like the look on the guy's face as he casts... Very concentrated, very deliberate.

Basically... The rapture can't happen if the Jews aren't in Israel.

ahh the rapture!

okay... :D

This is just a bigger example to me of why the need for seperation of church and state.

I still don't get it, but one thing I do know is that some sort of rapture should have nothing to do with anything. :)
