the answer is:

without question we are very generous to Israel in economic and military aid

why?

no other people have suffered so much for so long - scattered and living in exile for two millennia they kept alive their dream of Israel with the prayer, 'next year in Jerusalem'

persecution culminated in Hitler's 'final solution', the massacre of six million jews

the holocaust underlined the moral basis for Israel's founding

a tiny island of democracy surrounded by 22 hostile Arab monarchies and dictatorships that did not recognize their right to exist - many even vowing to destroy it

a strong and loyal ally in a region that is vital to all the world, an oil region - a region under siege by radical Islamists and terrorists

even Israel's strongest supporters in American don't agree with every Israeli policy

but at the end of the day, America will continue to support Israel - economically and morally
