Other interesting answers How awesome is the human brain?
“Tons of aid” Fact checkers weighed the aid and it did not even come to 1 ton let alone multiple which could be called tons. This is False. (This would be a fact check if Trump had said this.)
Why does this question even come up? Israel has always been a strong ally and the only democracy in the region. This is just haltered spewed out against the Jewish people.
THat pallet of cash for Iran probably weighed about a ton.
> Israel has always been a strong ally and the only democracy in the region. <
To which I’d add: Over the years Israel has been attacked by its neighbors numerous times. It is the duty of America to help countries in that unfortunate position.
Israel is God’s land.. As long as we have a President who knows what the Bible says about Israel.. we are allies... when anti God in the US have their way.. we are supposed to hate Israel.
it goes back to who the favorite son is.. God said Isaac.. Muslims say Ishmael. We are to love what God loves.. and prophecy was filled when Israel became a state in 1948..
Simple answer: Only Democracy-like Middle Eastern state, and the US has always been about spreading freedom, individualism and Democracy. Anyone questioning otherwise is likely anti-Israel, a Leftist POS, or anti-Semitic.

This is also true.
True, as seen by some of the contrary answers to the question.
And an honest liberal would have to admit that if Israel was a majority LGBTQ country that was threatened by Russia then they were be protesting for support of Israel. However, as Pilate and Herod became friends (Luke 23:12) since they both opposed to the Lord Jesus so also liberals are allies with Islam due to having the God of the Bible as their shared common enemy.
And just what does this sound like:
And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. (Zechariah 14:12)
Most ignorant question ever from Quora.
I used to think we would never turn on Israel . then came barry... he did.ý
“This is just haltered spewed out against the Jewish people.”
Unfortunately, there’s a Israel-hating cabal here...that still hasn’t even figured out why they hate Israel so much.
But then why bother with details!
Democrats hate Israel... were these terms negotiated under democrat administration?
Here is the deal. Much like the tithe, God has made certain promises surrounding the Nation of Israel...
“There are two key passages in the Bible where God promises to bless those who support Israel and to curse those who do not. The first one is found in Gen. 12:2-3. God is speaking to Abraham when He says the following:
And I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so you shall be a blessing;
And I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who curses you I will curse.
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.” (NASB) Gen. 12:2-3
God promises to make Abraham’s descendants a great nation, and He promises to bless them. But anyone who seeks to harm them will be cursed. This is the reason to support Israel. Any nation in the world who seeks to harm Israel will find God’s wrath upon it. God’s wrath will come when He chooses. For some it will not occur until the end of the world (Rev. 18:1-2,24; 20:11-15). The second key passage is found in Gen. 27:29. It has the same idea of Genesis 12:2-3.”
For unbelievers, it doesn’t really matter what they think about it, they are cursed anyway. But for the Nation and people that believe God, it is promise. Do you want to be blessed by God, or cursed?
The origin for this irrational animus is in the supernatural, with an anti-authority libertarian spirit among conservatives certain usually being consistent with Israel-hating. See Conservatism Without the Righteousness of Almighty God is Bankrupt
We support Israel because the US had the chance to stop the Holocaust at the 1938 Evian Conference ... and did nothing.
Then history presented America another opportunity to save Europe’s Jews at the 1943 Bermuda Conference ... and again it did nothing.
In 1939 some 900 Jewish refugees managed to escape Germany and boarded a German-flagged passenger liner, the MS St Louis, bound for the New World. They first made port at Havana but the Cubans only allowed the handful who were seriously ill or had US visas to disembark. So they set sail again hoping to make an American port but the US Coast Guard (acting on orders from the US Secretary of State, who probably was following instructions from FDR) warned them off from American waters. They sailed as far north at Nova Scotia but the Canadians refused them entry, too.
The St. Louis had no option but to return to Europe. A bit less than a third of her Jewish refugees were accepted by the UK but the rest settled in the European low countries, all of which were overrun by the Bundeswehr in 1940. And at least half of them died at the hands of the Nazis.
We support Israel because the Jews were kicked from pillar to post for almost two millennia. Victimized and persecuted everywhere they tried to settle, and when Hitler tried to exterminate them, we did too little, too late.
But now they once again have a nation of their own, for the Jews and by the Jews. And their history makes it obvious that this is their last best chance. They’ve been chased out of every country on earth and now they are (metaphorically) painted into this tiny little corner in the Arabian desert, the very place their forefathers settled 3000 years ago.
Israel isn’t so much a country as it is a lifeboat for the Jewish peoples. And events of the 20th Century make it clear that the Jews can’t count on anyone apart themselves to look after their security. For them, there is nowhere else to flee too. For them, this is “do or die.” If the modern nation of Israel should cease to exist, it is very likely that the Jewish people would as well.
There is no redemption for the lack of humanity we showed them during WWII but perhaps there can be some measure of atonement in our helping to assure the success of their new nation. We support Israel now — at any cost — because if we don’t, neither history ... nor God ... will forgive us.

And since our CIA spends most of their time prancing in front of the Washington Post and New York Times for attention... in the times between spying on American citizens - we can assume it's more like 'Israel is worth fifty CIA's....'
