Elroy, you said: ===> "I believe that the great majority of Americans are indifferent to Israel, and are highly ignorant of it." <===
You are wrong. If anyone is ignorant about the Middle East, it is you. Americans are well aware of the hostile, backward nature of Middle East Muslim/Arab dictatorships. Many of the backward Muslim/Arab nations keep their women covered up, from head to foot, so that no one can look at any portion of their bodies, including their faces. Among the reasons given for this puritanical, stone-age treatment of women is because Muslim/Arab men cannot be trusted to control their sexual behavior if they get a glimpse of female flesh. Another reason is that the backward, Muslim/Arab dictatorships want to totally brainwash and indoctrinate their people, and they attempt to do this via sexual deprivation, promising Arab/Muslim men all the sex they want, but only after they are dead. Muslims are promised something like an eternity of 99 virgins, and all the sex that they want, but they can only collect on this promise after they die.
Americans look at this draconian, hostile behavior by the Muslim/Arab world, and then look at the advanced, civilized, beneficial nature of our closest friend and helpful ally, Israel, and much prefer Israel as a friend than the backward, apartheid Arab/Muslim world.
Anyway...... all of the latest polls show strong, majority support for Israel. |
