Rhetorical question: why should any gentile American care about Israel when a large majority of American Jews voted for Obama instead of Romney, knowing their respective records on the Jewish State?

I gotta tell you, I for one am pretty sick of giving a rat's hairy behind about moral commitments (and that's what Israel is, it certainly isn't in America's narrow security interests to support them) when the Americans with the far greater cause to care can't seem to be bothered.

Because if we don’t care about Israel, then we become just like Obama.

Good points there. A broader issue is that a lot of folks all across the political spectrum are likely to become very concerned once other nations start to have a stronger influence in U.S. politics and end up imposing their own "moral commitments" on us through their lobbying efforts.

Heck -- I would make the case that Saudi Arabia now has at least as much influence on U.S. foreign policy as Israel ever did.
