Elroy, you said: ===> "Most Americans don't give a rats ass about Israel, and do not feel a need to strongly support Israel." <=== You are wrong. The polls show that there is a strong connection and friendship between Israel and the US. Most rational people realize and appreciate the wonderful medical and scientific discoveries that Israel contributes to, not only the US, but the entire world. Israel and the US also share important military and security developments, that save both American and Israeli lives. You back the enemies of the US. Most Americans back the friends and allies of the US. Elroy, you said: ===> "If Americans were asked "Do you support the policy of country A which allows the people of one and only one ethnic group to immigrate from anywhere on the planet to country A and gain the benefits of citizenship in country A, but this policy also denies the same citizenship to people born and raised in land controlled by country A solely because they are not in the preferred ethnic group of country A?"" <=== You are obviously talking about the Palestinians, who are not only refusing Christian and Jewish immigration to the West Bank and Gaza, but are also practicing a policy of ethnic cleansing against Christians and Jews. In fact, most of the racist, religiously intolerant Arab/Muslim Middle East, refuses immigration of Christians and Jews, and are also ethnically cleansing the Middle East of Christians and Jews. Americans support and applaud Israel's policy of giving Israeli Arabs/Muslims rights that they wouldn't get back in their original Arab/Muslim countries. Israel's population consists of 5,415,000 Jewish citizens (76%); 1,425,000 million Arab citizens (20%) and 310,000 Others (4%). Israeli Arabs are not only allowed to vote and hold office, they are allowed to have their own schools and their own mosques. Israeli Arabs have full access to Israel's courts and justice system, which is another benefit that is much better than back in the other Arab/Muslim countries. Israel is one of the few nations in the Middle East that allows Arab women to vote! Israel’s ambassador to Finland was an Arab! Israel's Director General of the Ministry of Interior was an Arab! Arabic and Hebrew are official languages in Israel! Israel's Arab citizens have more rights and a higher standard of living than in almost all of the neighboring Arab/Muslim states. Your mind is narrowly fixated on Israel's immigration policies of allowing Jews to immigrate to tiny Israel, one of the smallest nations on this planet, whose land is mostly desert. At the same time you are ignoring Israel's Arab/Muslim neighbor's racist and religiously intolerant policies of ethnic cleansing, persecution of minorities, and immigration policies must stricter than Israel's.
