My taxpayer money go to help Israel suppress the Palestinian people, to steal their land and mistreat these occupied people. I, and many Americans are against this. My University along with myriad US universities are involved with boycott divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, but the US government blocks us. So yes, Americans in more diverse areas of America are aware and insulted.
Wrong. Taxpayer money comes right back to U.S. corporations that sell military hardware/systems to Israel. It just increases their bottom line profit.
And, do not think the liberal universities reflect the majority. You are discounting about 60 million born again Christains. They feel Israel will fulfill bible prophecy.
I understand that in many parts of the country, especially in the liberal enclaves it is the current FAD to be anti-Israel. It makes many feel they are part of the "in-crowd," so to speak. Be that as it may, Israel has a political stability that U.S. policymakers cannot ignore.
So, you continue to be one of the "cool kids," and spout anti-Israel rhetoric. But, at the end of the day, western nations like having the high-tech/medical innovations that come out of Israel, without having that many Jews in their midst. One should think of Israel as a storage facility for innovative Jews. That's really it in a nutshell, in my opinion.
