Actaully I think the Evangelical Lobby shares a good bit of the blame here as well. They support Israel because they believe that all of Israel was given to the Jews by God in the Bible, thusly they support Israel over Palestine. There are some "end of the world" types as well that see the existance of Israel as a sign of Armagedon and the return of Jesus and therefore they are perfectly happy to see a state of Israel.Originally Posted by DarkLadyNyara
Then there's the Jewish Lobby.
