The only reason the Christians have been so gung-ho about Israel is because it is the alleged birthplace of their mythical savior god. If their non-existent deity had been birthed somewhere other than the Middle East, they wouldn't give a rat's ass about the Jews, or anybody else, in that part of the world.

O Little town of Bethlehem, indeed. It's hard to imagine worse threats to world security than the doings and beliefs of the followers in big three monotheistic faiths. Even the non-violent practitioners are all crazy.
