Elroy, you might change your mind about your dislike for Israel, or your dislike for Jews, or even your dislike for other minorities, if you were better informed. I don't dislike Jews. I dislike institutionalized discrimination. People should be judged and treated equally on their individual merits (modern civilized society), their treatment should not be institutional preference and/or discrimination based on on the relgion of their mother (backwards tribal society). You can bash Arabs all you want, but the previous sentence is going remain my view. Anyway, weren't we discussing Americans interest (or lack of interest) in and support for (or ignorance of) Israel? Why are you wasting all this time comparing Israel to its neighbor countries? That's not the topic. Here, again, is the question: 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'd get 98% of Americans opposed (if the grammar in the question was simplified!). Americans like to think of all men created equal, and not as one ethnic group entitled to something simply because of the religion of their mother.
