This is an interesting topic of which there are very polarized opinions for the interesting reason that support for Israel within the US political spectrum has become a partisan issue. The Democrats' ideological orientation has switched to being (relatively) un-supportive of Israel. Perhaps this is due to the growing population of evangelical Christians and their overt sympathies for Israel. Perhaps the fact that it is a religious motivation pushes them to the polar opposite side in order not to be affiliated with religious zealots. It is an issue worth exploring in great depth.
