Of course, some conservatives are isloationists and don't support Israel, but many conservatives fit this profile.

They should read Ann Coulter's book GODLESS for the answer IMO.

More conservatives are Christian and therefore acknowledge the Jews as God's chosen as well as commanded to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
To: Mobile Vulgus
In no particular order:
1. Because many conservatives accept the Bible as true. And there's a bit about certain lands being promised to the Jews.
2. Because they are normal country in the middle of a cesspool that needs our support.
3. Because they are an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the middle of said cesspool that is vital to our country's self-interest.
4. They are the enemy of our enemy.

Forget it is the land of the Bible, it also a democracy of sorts which should be supported by all democratic countries! Of course for me, it is because of the Bible most of all!

Well stated! Very good article...
To: Mobile Vulgus
A lot of the reason why I support Israel is because of who they are fighting.
Oh, and that they let their Arabs vote.
Oh, and they have elections.
Oh, and they didn't blowup the WTC.
Oh, and they don't hijack planes.
I could go on.

I think the left hates Israel because of it's success in a region full of dashed socialist utopian dreams. Moreover, I think the left has responded more favorably to Israel when Israel has been governed from the left by the left wing of the Labor Party. If it's Likud or Kadima, it may as well be national socialism to the left.
Another problem is the left's infatuation with baathist national socialism, and shia as well as sunni islamofascism. Many leftists have thrown in their lot with the 21 century equivalent of the nazi party, islamofascism. I'm waiting for the formation of an "Abraham Lincoln Brigade" to fight for the islamofascists just as their ancestral cousins fought in the 30's for international socialists.

I support Israel for very simple and basic reasons. I support any country and government that provides for its people a civilized society to live in, that provides an economy for its people, and provides an educational and free enterprise system for its people. The above is worth protecting and supporting. It's becoming a rare commodity in this world.

>>>Why do Conservatives support Israel?<<<
The more appropriate question is, "Why do the liberals support Nazism, Communism, and Islamofacism?"
To: Mobile Vulgus
Yet Democrat Jews still vote 70% for Democrats when it is Bush and the GOP doing everything they can to help Israel.
I'll never understand why the Jewish Donkeys vote with Donkeys
