What I'm suggesting is that the well-publicised idealised Israel, supposed locus of Jewish self-renewal and high moral purpose that Americans (including me) were taught to embrace, is looking a little hollow just now. There's no American "race" that longed for a homeland to be safe from persecution (unless you count the indians, but seriously, who ever does?), nor any plausible divine mandate making the country over to the white man. America was never supposed to be about anything but a gold rush and land-grab. Surely Israel is about more than that. Anyway, the Christian Zionist yes-men say so.
What a terrible education you have suffered through...
