The interesting thing about the U.S. supporting Israel is that it was both the right and wrong thing to do. When Israel was first established, it was to give the Jews their own nation where they could safely steer clear of persecution and atrocities like the concentration camps. I absolutely support the notion. However how was awful, an atrocity of another great proportion commited against the Arabs when several hundred thousand were evicted from their legally owned land to make room for the Jews, not to mention siezing mass amounts of farm land and other private properties owned for many generations. Their justification of course was that the jews technically had it first, some-odd 1 and a half thousand years ago, but if we stole the land out from under anybody who lived where another ancestor used to, the whole world would be uprooted. And so because of the stupid means by which the Jew's new nation was formed, we have terrible conflict and civilian casualties to this day. I guess few people think ahead.
